V1.4 SP 28.0

No Preview or Appendix updates for this change are necessary.

Documentation changes:

The Appendix of the Buy American Act Place of Manufacture Report shall be updated to remove mention of “IDVs,” which were never included in the report because IDVs do not have a “Place of Manufacture.”

Note: “Type of Set Aside” is a required value on V1.4 Delivery Orders but not applicable on V1.4 BOAs. “Type of Set Aside” loses its value on the V1.4 Base DO regardless of the data element(s) corrected on the referenced V1.4 BOA.

This fix will also apply to the new Base after a “Transfer Action” for the above scenario.

All Standard Reports that include the D&B Disclaimer in the Preview and Appendix will be updated to include the new text.

The new D&B Disclaimer text (https://www.fpds.gov/help/DnB.htm) is as follows:
