IMPORTANT NOTICE
The Department of Defense has mandated that paperless contracting be in place for all acquisition types. Therefore, vendors are encouraged to be capable of accepting Government Credit Cards and subscribe to ASFI / FedBizOpps to maximize business opportunities.
POINTS OF INTEREST
The Pittsburgh District attempts to solicit all requirements for commodities, services, and construction between the $2,500 and $100,000 range by computer through Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI) and FedBizOpps.
All competitive requirements over $25,000 that are not deemed suitable for an ASFI solicitation are published by the FedBizOpps (Federal Business Opportunities) . Each notice of a proposed procurement is published only once so it is important to check the FedBizOpps regularly.
EFT and CCR Requirements: All contractors/vendors doing business with Department of Defense (DoD) agencies must be registered with Central Contractor Registration (CCR). After May 30, 1998, firms not registered in CCR will be unable to receive DoD awards. To obtain registration forms, call the Central Contractor Registration Assistance Center at (888) 227-2423. Firms may also register on-line via the internet on the CCR Website. It is mandatory that all contracts contain provisions for Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) with few exceptions.
Micro-purchases: To streamline the procurement process, the Pittsburgh District utilizes the Government Credit Card for micro-purchases (purchases of $2,500 and less). The card is an internationally accepted VISA credit card issued by US Bank System, and bears the legend "For Official Government Use".
