What is FAPIIS?

Full name: Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System

The Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) is a federal database that records contractor integrity and performance information used in responsibility determinations. It captures terminations for cause or default, defective-pricing findings, non-responsibility determinations, and certain proceedings, giving a contracting officer a record of an entity's past conduct before a new award is made.

How it’s used

  • Responsibility determinations: contracting officers review FAPIIS before award to judge whether an entity is a responsible source under FAR Part 9.
  • SAM.gov integration: FAPIIS records are reached through SAM.gov and keyed to the entity's Unique Entity Identifier.
  • Fonteum resolves FAPIIS-style integrity signals to the same entity identity it builds from SAM.gov exclusions and registration, so an entity's record reads in one place.

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
