The GAO Has Spoken on FPDS Data Quality.
GAO Report 25-107469 revealed systemic failures in federal procurement data validation. PotomacWave’s FedDataCheck product is the proven, comprehensive solution to turn these findings into your agency’s success story.
Explore The “Easy Button” SolutionA Mandate for Action, Not Just a Report
The GAO’s findings are a clear directive: the old way of conducting Verification & Validation (V&V) is no longer acceptable. Agencies face critical gaps in compliance, methodology, and corrective action. This isn’t just about ticking a box—it’s about the integrity of billions in federal spending data.
The Comprehensive Solution for V&V Compliance
FedDataCheck is the simple-to-deploy “easy button” for agencies who want to master the V&V process. We address every challenge, from initial setup to final report.
Organize & Manage Your Entire Review
The GAO report highlighted a lack of process. FedDataCheck provides a centralized platform to organize and conduct your entire review. Assign transactions to designated reviewers, break up workloads by contracting office, and track progress in real-time.
Ensure Compliant, Defensible Sampling
The GAO found agencies using flawed sampling. Our platform generates a random sample following OFPP guidelines, ensuring your review is statistically valid and compliant from the very start. No more guesswork or risk of an invalidated review.
Automate Corrections & Notifications
The GAO report (p. 22-23) highlighted how HHS and VA use a “third-party vendor software that has an autocorrect feature.” That software is FedDataCheck. We automatically notify COs of inconsistencies and, with our AutoCorrect subscription, can fix them directly.
Maintain High-Quality Reviews
Ensure the integrity of your V&V process. Our Quality Control page automatically flags individual reviews that may have been done incorrectly, such as those with too many fields marked “Not Applicable,” allowing managers to ensure consistency and accuracy.
Analyze Results with On-Demand Reporting
The GAO criticized a lack of documented corrective action. Our dashboards and on-demand reports empower you to track correction status, identify trends of recurring errors, and perform the root cause analysis needed to build the effective corrective action plans the GAO demands.
Meet the 120-Day Deadline with Confidence
With 19 of 24 CFO Act agencies missing the deadline, manual processes are failing. FedDataCheck’s efficiency gains, from automated sampling to streamlined reviews, make meeting the deadline a manageable goal, not a stressful scramble.
Go Beyond the Annual Review
Why wait for the annual V&V to find errors? FedDataCheck empowers you to maintain data quality year-round, making the official review faster and more accurate.
Continuous Monitoring
As soon as a contract action goes live in FPDS, FedDataCheck runs it through a series of 100+ automated data quality checks. This includes validations for fields required in the annual V&V review.
When an inconsistency is found, we automatically email the responsible FPDS user with all the information they need to make a correction. By addressing issues in near real-time, your agency’s data is cleaner throughout the year, dramatically streamlining the final V&V process.

FedDataCheck isn’t a theoretical solution. We are the “third-party vendor software” referenced in the GAO report already used by major agencies like HHS and VA.
