Subsection (b)(2) puts the duty on the Administrator of General Services. The system to be updated is the Federal Procurement Data System described in section 1122(a)(4) of title 41 of the United States Code, or any successor system. Subparagraph (A) requires reporting of the same five designations subsection (a) added to the SBIR database: direct to Phase II, subsequent Phase II, a strategic breakthrough award, a Phase III prime contract award, and a Phase III subcontract award. No date is set for the update.

The head of the buying agency must change a records system. The system tracks what the government buys. It must start to record which kind each award is.
The five kinds match the ones added to the small business records. So the two systems will use the same labels. The law sets no date for the change.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
