WHAT IS CCR? A Central Repository for Vendor Data…. “Trading partners MUST be registered in the CCR prior to being awarded any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement, unless the award results from a solicitation issued on or before May 31, 1998.” DFARS Parts 204, 212, 252
WHY CCR? • Vendor information changes constantly: • A new business opens every minute • A business files bankruptcy every 8 minutes • A business closes every 3 minutes • A suit, lien, or judgment is filed against a company every 14 seconds • A chief executive officer changes every minute • A company name change occurs every 2 minutes • There are thousands of Financial and Procurement systems in the Government and each one has a vendor database
MISSION • CCR created to be the single collection point for vendor registration information: expanding to include Federal Government • Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) information • Allows for Agency Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 compliance • Acquisition Information & Contract Reporting Data • Allows for market research, developing mailing lists, validated information for contract awards, and standardized information across procurement and finance
MISSION, Continued • Integrating Registration and POC Information • Allows other eBusiness Programs to forgo lengthy internal registration modules • Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Information • Provide vendor’s VAN and routing data to support those agencies using EDI to conduct electronic business
WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED • Vendors know more about their company information than Government representatives • Vendors keep their information current if they are in control and the information is used by Government • Annual renewal ensures optimal database accuracy • Government agencies will embrace a common source of accurate and current vendor data • Awards and invoice payments are an effective incentive for vendors to keep their information current

Laurie FirstPolicy and Technical Support/DRMS-POP Data Mining and the DOD Credit Card
DOD Purchase Card (I.M.P.A.C. Card):A critical component in DOD’S effort to cut costs, improve business practices, and simplify the procurement process.
Credit Card Abuse :Report from the Government Accounting Office (GAO)A recent report from the GAO identified continued weaknesses in the area of monitoring credit card fraud and abuse.
THE PROBLEM:In a part of the GAO Report, testimony given identified a number of fraud cases.In one case they investigated approximately $12,000 in fraudulent transactions related to a former employee.The purchases included:An Amana RangeGift CertificatesClothingGroceries
Data Mining:Technology that analyses vast stores of data to identify trends and to “mine” specific information from large amounts of data to someone reviewing the information.In relation to credit card abuse, data mining tools can be used to look at trends in purchases,“flag” questionable purchases, ect.
Other GAO recommendations: • Accelerating electronic billing and certification systems. • Using metrics to track progress in improving credit card programs. • Developing and deploying new training materials and courses on purchase cards. • Establishing skill and grade levels for purchase card program coordinators. • Reducing the number of cards.
SUMMARY: • Data mining will play an important role in various systems and processes used in DRMS in the future and acquisition and procurement processes will continue to be a part of this technological initiative.
