Fedbizopps.gov replaces the CBD for Federal Contracts

The CBD has been replaced by Fedbizopps.gov. Agencies are no longer required to provide notice in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD) and the Department of Commerce has ceased publishing it through the GPO. The FAR now designates Fedbizopps.gov as the single point of universal electronic public access on the Internet to government-wide Federal procurement opportunities that exceed $25,000. The notices that previously were required to be published in the CBD are now posted on Fedbizopps.gov.

In addition to the announcements and notices themselves, Fedbizopps.gov leverages the web to provide additional functionality such as keyword searches, RFP downloads, solicitation notification emails, and more. A secondary benefit is that thousands of people will be spared the early need for reading glasses brought about by trying to speed read page after page of microscopic type in the CBD ;-)

The upside for contractors is immediate access to more information about more solicitations. The downside is that it is now even easier to fall into the trap of looking for solicitations after they are announced and bidding as many as possible.

More information is available because Fedbizopps.gov does not have the space limitations of the paper-bound CBD. In addition, agencies can upload and attach files such as draft RFPs and other related documents directly to the solicitation notices. More solicitations are available, especially small purchases (under $25,000) that aren't required to be posted, because posting to Fedbizopps.gov doesn't cost anything, where the CBD cost agencies $5 for each post and because of the interactive nature of the web. Government buyers doing market surveys can locate qualified businesses quickly through an online posting.
