The federal government will soon change the way it posts contracting notices. Beginning October 1, 2001, all notices of contracting opportunities must be posted on a government Web site: Federal Business Opportunities or FedBizOpps.com.
For decades, notices were posted through the Commerce Business Daily (CBD). To allow vendors time for transition to the new Web site, agencies can continue to post notices in the CBD until January 1, 2002.
According to a report from the American Institute of Architects ANGLE, “FedBizOpps will allow prospective contractors to target their searches better by allowing them to automatically receive electronic notice of procurement opportunities by solicitation number, selected organizations, and product service classification. Vendors can also [use the Web site to] search procurements by solicitation number, date, procurement classification code, and agency for active or archived solicitations.”
For more information, contact CBD through the US Government Printing Office.
