| Announcements ASSIST Update: PI7System Announcement In July, AAS will be releasing the ASSIST 2.0 Interagency Agreement Part A (IA Part A) service, which will provide the Regional CSCs the ability to create an electronic record for their Interagency Agreements (IA), as well as retire the ability to create and edit National IAs in the legacy OMIS application. IA Part A describes the general terms and conditions that govern the provision of assisted acquisition services between the Requesting Agency and Servicing Agency, GSA/FAS/AAS. In addition to the IAA, a new Closeout form will be incorporated into both ITSS and TOS. This form will provide a FAR-compliant checklist to guide acquisition teams through the closeout process. Key features & benefits to ASSIST end-users include: One converged business process for RBA and NBA users to create new Interagency Agreements (IAs) || Improved data integrity & synchronization between applications || New FAR-compliant Contract Closeout functionality that will be accessible for both RBA and NBA users. 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.
