Closed Date
FPDS Path
IDV/transactionInformation/closedDate
Description
The date and time the IDV transaction was formally closed in FPDS. It records when the instrument stopped being active for further procurement action within the reported transaction lifecycle.
Business Meaning
Closed dates help analysts distinguish active from ended awards, measure instrument duration, and align obligation or modification activity to the correct reporting window. They are useful for lifecycle analysis, period-of-performance checks, and identifying when IDVs can no longer support downstream orders or actions.

Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building

Common Usage

  • filtering active versus closed IDVs
  • calculating time-to-close or instrument lifespan
  • grouping closures by month, quarter, or fiscal year

Common Mistakes

  • assuming the close date equals award date or expiration date
  • casting without accounting for the time portion or null values

Query Guidance

Use this field in date filters, lifecycle joins, and cohort analyses after casting the string to a timestamp or date type appropriate to your SQL dialect. For reporting by period, derive month, quarter, or fiscal year from the parsed value, and exclude nulls explicitly when measuring closure timing.
