| Announcements ASSIST 2.0 - New Acquisition ServicesSystem Announcement Dear ASSIST Community, The new Acquisition Service is almost here, the first of many services we are modernizing. On April 30th, users logging into Acquisition Services will see a new and improved user interface. In advance of this change, we encourage all RBA and NBA user communities to attend one of our pre-launch and post-launch opportunities to become familiarized with it. Key new features and benefits to end-users include: Consistent and Improved User Experience based on your role in ASSIST Integrated Search with Filters Visibility into Overall Workflow and Business Processes Standard AAS Acquisition Terminology and Naming Conventions Form-level edit history. Detailed Audit trails and Historical data Embedded Field Level Help Enhanced Attachment and Collaboration Features And much more Access to Help and Training Materials To ensure minimal disruption, our Acquisition Services team has prepared help materials and FAQs to guide you on day one. On the AAS Portal Homepage, after logging in, you will see a new box called, 'Training and Help', which will contain Acquisition Service help materials, recorded webinars, and FAQs. You can also navigate directly to 'Help' on the top navigation and find the materials posted under 'Training'. Lastly, our ASSIST Service Desk will be available for technical support. Call: (877) 472-4877 Email: AASBS.helpdesk@gsa.gov For questions or more information please contact AAS PMO Systems Team: Randy Matlack, Brian Oakes or Jeff Lobaugh.

As a result, users received validation errors in FPDS for the following two scenarios: (1) Award Mod 6 character extension (2) C Instrument Type. An ASSIST patch was deployed on 4/12/2018 to address both of these scenarios and the next mod created will link to FPDS-NG without error. However, a new problem report (PRB46737) was generated for mods awarded between 10/1/2017 and 4/11/2018 which may be affected with a broken FPDS-NG link. We will notify you once a fix has been deployed. If you have any questions, please contact the ASSIST service desk at 877-472-4877 or email: aasbs.helpdesk@gsa.gov. For more information regarding the FPDS-NG release, please go to: https://www.fpds.gov/wiki/index.php/V1.5_SP_2.0.

Single Sign On (SSO) is once again available in ASSIST and GSA ASSIST users will now be able to utilize their PIV cards to authenticate to the ASSIST portal. The ASSIST portal will still adhere to its current security protocol, meaning all applications will timeout after 20 minutes of inactivity requiring users to re-authenticate.
