Recipients of funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) are required to enter data about their projects on the federal stimulus tracking website Oct. 1 – 10. Contractors are required to input data gathered on ARRA-funded projects between the date when the funding was awarded and Sept. 30. Data should be entered on
FederalReporting.gov and it will be available for the public to view on
Recovery.gov after the reporting period closes.
Before submitting data, prime recipients, or organizations that received funds directly from a federal agency, and sub recipients that received funds from prime recipients need to register. If the prime recipients are reporting on behalf of the sub recipients, then the sub recipients do not need to register. Registration may take up to two days to complete.
In addition, ABC is offering a webinar Oct. 26,
“Tapping Into the Stimulus Money: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,” designed to help ABC members better understand ARRA-funded work and the reporting requirements. The webinar will provide a general overview of federal contracting and how firms can successfully beat out the competition, particularly those entering into federal work for the first time. The webinar will address the opportunities, obligations and pitfalls of federal government contracting work and provide an understanding of the obligations associated with it.
