The Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Web site (www.fedbizopps.gov) effective Jan. 1 becomes “single point of universal public access on the Internet” to federal procurement announcements as govt. shuts down publication of Commerce Business Daily (CBD). Duplicate publication of procurement actions exceeding $25,000 had been required in CBD and FBO during Oct. 1-Dec. 31 transition period. Dept. of Commerce Office of Acquisition Management said “designation of this one-stop online gateway represents an important step in the ongoing transformation to a more efficient, accessible, citizen-centric e-government.” CBD ceases publication Jan. 4. However, “an archive database will continue to be available at CBDNet as part of the Federal Depository Library Program Electronic Collection” when active CBDNet database is shut down -- 877-472-3779.
