Search FedBizOpps

As of January 1, 2002, the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps/FBO) system has been the single government point-of-entry (GPE) for Federal government procurement notices over $25,000. Government buyers are able to publicize their business opportunities by posting information directly to FedBizOpps via the Internet. Through one portal - FedBizOpps - commercial vendors seeking Federal markets for their products and services can search, monitor and retrieve opportunities solicited by the entire Federal contracting community.

Vendors do not need to register, nor do they require a username and password, to begin using the electronic system.  For vendors, FedBizOpps provides:

• The ability to browse active procurement notices by Posted Date, Classification Code, NAICS Code, Set-Aside Type, as well as awards, for a particular Agency/Office/Location.

• The ability to search for procurement notices through the use of the FBO Synopsis/Awards search page.

• An Email Notification Service (Vendors Notification Service), which allows vendors to receive daily email notifications of procurement notices by Agency/Office/Location, Procurement Classification Code, NAICS Code, Set-Aside Type, or Place of Performance Zip Code. 

• An Interested Vendors Module (Bidder's List) to promote teaming opportunities for vendors.

• An FBO Data-feed File, which provides daily posting data in html format.

To obtain access to the FedBizOpps System, go to www.FedBizOpps.gov.

List all active solicitations that you are interested in bidding on, along with the point-of-contact (POC) information.  Call or email them with the solicitation number to have the bid package mailed or emailed to you.  Sometimes the bid package is available for download on the Internet.  You can also search the archived solicitations.  If you find an opportunity that you were interested in that was already awarded, contact the Federal Procurement Data Center, they can tell you when the contract expires.
