“After Veterans Day weekend, federal agencies will no longer be able to post their procurements to Federal Business Opportunities, or FBO.gov, as the General Services Administration migrates those capabilities to a tab under beta.SAM.gov. Not every agency will transition immediately.”
“At least one contracting office, the Federal Aviation Administration’s headquarters office, won’t be posting to the Contract Opportunities page on SAM. The office posted an announcement Thursday on its own procurement site, FAA Contract Opportunities, telling vendors to check that site going forward…”
“GSA is shuttering FBO and transitioning it to beta.SAM.gov as part of a wholesale consolidation of its contracting websites under a single domain.

FBO is next on deck, with the transition scheduled to begin Nov. 8 and be wrapped up—with FBO closed for business—by Nov. 12.”
“Before the end of 2020, 10 sites will have made the move to SAM, including the Federal Procurement Data System, or FPDS, and the Contractor Performance Assessment Reports System, or CPARS.” Read the full article here.
