FAQ
Common questions about the Procurement DCC Dashboard.
Is this total CBP spend?
No. It is a curated, non-probability sample of 250 USAspending awards.
Does “POP overlaps snapshot” mean the contract is active?
No. It only means the published current POP includes the snapshot date. Operational status is not confirmed.
Why can’t I accept a handoff?
Only the receiving role can. Switch to the persona whose workflow role matches *To (receiving role)* — e.g. Megan Thompson for program-manager handoffs.
Why can’t I approve my own reconciliation?
Material reconciliations follow the two-person rule. See Approvals.
Can the DCC approve an invoice or accept a deliverable?
No — see Guardrails.
Why are baseline cases not scored?
They are intentionally incomplete training fixtures; scoring them would falsely label files as deficient.
How do I start over?
As the data steward, use Release Gate & Reset (CBP) or Reset Ghost tenant in Settings (baseline).
