FBO.gov is Moving to SAM.gov

---

Federal Business Opportunities (FBO.gov) will start transitioning to SAM.gov on November 8th. Before being decommissioned, FBO.gov functionalities will transition into beta.SAM.gov the first quarter of FY 2020. The new beta.Sam.gov is expected to have the same federal business opportunity capabilities that exist today as well as many additional improvements.

The process of building the beta.SAM.gov and developing the improvements was a collaborative effort between users and stakeholders. Enhancements to the new beta.SAM.gov include the ability to search for an opportunity that provides more precise results, ability to manage alerts and set up notices more efficiently, offering a more user-friendly design and offering options such as viewing previous versions with one click.

Many of the features and functions used in FBO.gov will have new names once they migrate to beta.SAM.gov.

These include:

• Watchlist will become Follow
• Search Agent will become Saved Search
• Archived will become Inactive
