Impact to Users and Integrators

Enhancement

The FPDS-NG public ATOM feeds will be updated to not display the following four (4) data elements:

Headquarters Parent DUNS Number (<parentDUNSNumber>)
Headquarters Parent Name (<parentDUNSName>)
Domestic Ultimate DUNS Number (<domesticParentDUNSNumber>)
Domestic Ultimate Name (<domesticParentDUNSName>)

The public ATOM feeds will mask these data elements by inserting “blanks” into the data field.
Per current FPDS ATOM feed functionality, having empty values for the specific data elements will result in the xml tags not being displayed for these data elements.

FPDS-NG shall not display data or display empty tags for the following in Public Atom Feed Version 1.4.3 & 1.4.4:

<parentDUNSNumber>
<parentDUNSName>
<domesticParentDUNSNumber>
<domesticParentDUNSName>

FPDS-NG shall not display data or display empty tags for the following in Public Atom Feed Version 1.4, 1.4.1, & 1.4.2:

<parentDUNSNumber>
<domesticParentDUNSNumber>

No
