The GSA has announced that FedBizOpps.gov (FBO.gov) will begin decommissioning, and its functionality will transition into beta.SAM.gov starting November 8, 2019.
beta.sam.gov (FBO.gov) officially merged with sam.gov on May 24th, 2021. Every business, nonprofit, and government entity looking to secure federal contracts or grants must be registered in this system. If you need assistance with your SAM registration, speak to a contracting specialist at (866) 216-5343 or get started with your registration now.
What is FBO?
FBO (known as FedBizOpps) is how federal contracting agencies post notices on proposed contract actions valued at more than $25,000. These notices include solicitations, pre-solicitations, sole-source justifications, and other notices.
New Accounts and Migration
To transition roles from FBO.gov to beta.SAM.gov, you'll need to create a new account in beta.SAM.gov. As part of the ongoing efforts to improve security and adopt single sign-on for all IAE applications, GSA is implementing login.gov in beta.SAM.gov. A few weeks before the transition, you'll need to create a new login.gov account or prepare to use your existing login.gov account. You can also use your government-issued CAC/PIV card to log in. Government officials who have roles in FBO.gov will be required to complete a simple process to migrate their roles. By providing your username and password from FBO.gov on beta.SAM.gov, you'll inherit all current roles.
NOTE: Legacy users will be able to migrate their roles only if their FBO.gov account is active. This means their FBO user account password cannot expire.
What Action is Required by You?
If you're a USFCR SAM-verified vendor, we recommend beginning to use other resources for researching government opportunities. Your options include USFCR's Advanced Procurement Portal (APP) or becoming familiar with the limited functionality of the SAM.gov beta site (beta.sam.gov).
