The Importance of Being Familiar with FAR 9.103 and 9.104
Marc Violante, WPI
All companies both primes and subcontractors need to be familiar with FAR 9.103 and 9.104. Success in the federal marketplace in part depends upon awareness of these requirements and being able to put forth information that provides the necessary documentation needed for a contracting officer to make a determination.

Changes Coming for SAM.gov and BETA.SAM.gov Spring 2021
Kim Garber, WPI
The General Services Administration launched beta.SAM.gov in 2017 as the modernized environment where the 10 Integrated Award Environment (IAE) systems will become one. To date, three IAE systems have migrated into beta.SAM.gov completely and some functionality from a fourth system has also merged into the new environment. Next up is SAM.gov, where users register to do business with the federal government, find exclusion records, and perform other tasks. After the merger, the system will be known only as SAM.gov (no more “beta”).

Forecast of Contracting Opportunities Tool
The goal of this tool is to provide a nationwide dashboard of upcoming federal contracting opportunities. All projected procurements are subject to revision or cancellation. Final decisions on the extent of competition, small business participation, estimated value, or any aspect of the procurement are made if/when a solicitation is posted to beta.SAM.gov. Forecast data is for planning purposes only and is not a commitment by the Government to purchase the described products and/or services.

DLA Land and Maritime Procurement Initiatives - Request for Information
DLA Land and Maritime uses Requests for Information (RFI) as a standard business process with the purpose of collecting written information about the capabilities of various suppliers. A list of L&M RFIs can be found below (note this list may not be all inclusive). Per FAR 15.201(e), “RFIs may be used when the Government does not presently intend to award a contract, but wants to obtain price, delivery, other market information, or capabilities for planning purposes. Responses to these notices are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. There is no required format for RFIs.”
-
The Land Supply Chain has identified this list of items as urgently needed and is posting this Request for Information to inquire about the availability of Surplus, Manufacturer’s Overruns and Residual Inventory. Click on links for detailed information.

Vendors may respond to this RFI at FL.AvailMat@dla.mil
