BPSI staff will be available to assist those with problems accessing or using the system. An increasing number of firms, associations, and governments are using similar systems. The BBS will provide the commercial education and training sector with a greater volume of higher quality strategic information at no cost. You will need a computer and a modem. An electronic system has two main advantages over a paper equivalent.
BOSS is a computerized database that is accessible to the public via modem free of charge.
It profiles over 24,00 companies, including 770 education and training firms. This is an American publication, and now an Internet database, that lists U.S. federal government requests for procurement. This indicates that there are a number of export opportunities available to Canadian training firms. There are 271 categories for requests for proposals in both services and goods, detailed instructions for the system and the procurement policy, an archive of past issues, contract award notices, a reader's guide, etc. Additions and modifications to both the content and structure should occur on an ongoing basis.
