Commerce Business Daily (CBD) Now on GPO Access 
  
        The Commerce Business Daily (CBD) database is now available online 
via GPO Access through CBDNet.  The CBD, of particular value to firms 
interested in bidding on U.S. Government purchases, lists notices of 
proposed government procurement actions, contracts  awarded, surplus 
government property offered for sale, and other procurement information. 
Each notice appears in the print CBD only once.  Notices stay "active" in 
the CBD database online via GPO Access for 15 days and are then moved to 
an "archived" database.  Each notice is available as an ASCII text file. 
The database is updated continuously. 
  
        The CBD database is accessible directly through CBDNet at 
<http://cbdnet.access.gpo.gov>. 
  
        CBDNet also allows Agency Contracting Offices to submit notices 
electronically via e-mail or the World Wide Web.  Upon acceptance, these 
notices are placed directly into the database and are available for 
searching within two minutes.  Manuscript notices are also still accepted. 
  
        The GPO Access User Support Team is available Monday-Friday 7:00 
a.m.-5:00 p.m. for questions or comments regarding this online
