Federal Procurement By Presidential Memorandum, strengthened by the Federal Acquisitions Streamlining Act of 1994 (FASA), the federal government began accelerating the process of moving from a paper-based system to an electronic system. Acquisition information such as solicitations, offers, contracts, purchase orders, invoices, payments, and other contractual documents will be exchanged between federal users and commercial suppliers electronically. Beginning in July 1995, Army, Air Force, and certain Navy sites were authorized to issue electronic solicitations for purchases up to $100,000. Additionally, Federal Acquisition Computer Network (FACNET) certified sites are expected to post 100% of their requirements. Sites that are not yet FACNET certified are issuing electronic solicitations for purchases up to $50,000. Commerce Business Daily (CBD) is the publication listing federal requests for quotations for items over $25,000 and contract awards over $25,000 that are likely to result in the award of subcontracts. FACNET-capable agencies are exempted from CBD posting requirements for commercial items up to $5,000,000 and for any purchase under $100,000 that is posted on FACNET. The Department of Defense and the federal government have approved Simplix as a Value Added Network (VAN) and software provider. Additionally, the Department of Defense (DoD) is converting SAACONS, SPEDE, Federal SACONS, and other electronic initiatives to the standard approach. Companies can access information from these sources directly through SIMPLIX-W. As a SIMPLIX-W customer, you have the opportunity to dramatically increase your sales.
