Congress passed legislation requiring that the fed gov’t adopt a coherent EC strategy.  As a result the federal EC strategic plan was develop which established some broad goals.  One of those is to  provide a method of notice...

The pilot proved that we could create one place where the vendor community could access both the synopsis and detailed information about government requirements.    Rather than simply providing a URL for the solicitation as you do with CBDNet, you have actual access to the document.

## 			Success Criteria:

Easy interface to agencies
