Federal Manager's Daily Report

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
