The Small Business Administration, the Department of
Defense, the Office of Management and Budget and the
General Services Administration are creating an integrated
database of small businesses vying for government
contracts, and simplifying the contracting process by
integrating Pro-Net and DoD’s Central Contractor
Registration, according to SBA.
CCR-Pro-Net is being designed as a portal to help businesses
self-promote and to help government officials find them
more easily, and is part of a broader effort to transfer
Pro-Net’s function to the e-Gov Business Partner Network
to simplify vendor registration, according to SBA.
All this is part of the Integrated Acquisition Environment,
one of OMB’s efforts facilitate transactions involving the
federal government, said SBA. http://www.sba.gov/news
