Overview

IMPORTANT: Data from FPDS.gov has transitioned to SAM.gov. Join this session to learn more about how to leverage this change and adapt.

The Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) has long been the master repository of federal contract activity, containing millions of contract actions that NEVER hit SAM.gov. GSA has announced that as of February 24, 2026, FPDS.gov has been decommissioned and transitioned into SAM.gov. This will change the way federal contractors find and learn about up-to-date contract activity and details in their market.

This major shift changes how contractors carry out market research, identify opportunities, and track competitor activity. This updated training will explore how contractors can adapt their FPDS strategy and transition to SAM.gov, in order to locate and leverage data to:

  • Identify hidden agency contract activity
  • Research competitors
  • Find buyers in your space
  • Track contract spending
  • Position your company for future hidden contracts

While the system is changing, the contract data is not going away. The companies that understand how to navigate this transition will gain immediate competitive advantage while others struggle to adapt.
