Overview of FPDS-NG Atom Feeds for Data Dissemination

This presentation covers the evolution of data dissemination methods, focusing on the FPDS-NG Atom feeds, which adhere to the industry-standard Atom 1.0 format. The session will explore the historical context of data dissemination from flat files to current Atom feeds. Participants will learn how to use the FPDS-NG Atom Feed for searching detailed contract information through configurable queries. Additionally, we'll demonstrate the public Atom feed site and provide guidance on utilizing search criteria to retrieve specific data efficiently.
