In March 2008, The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) hired Symplicity Corp., an Arlington, Va., Small, Disadvantaged, Minority-Owned business, to develop a new system for GSA’s Federal Business Opportunities Web site, FBO.gov.

“Award of the FedBizOpps contract is a significant milestone,” said Teresa Sorrenti, GSA’s Director of Acquisition Systems. “It will further our mission to provide common, shared services to our customers and their suppliers in the federal acquisition community. I look forward to working with our new industry partner to continue to offer procurement opportunities in a transparent manner, using efficient, effective technology.”

The new FBO system provides users with dozens of new features that significantly enhance the site's usability and capability for vendors, buyers, and citizens. In addition, the new FBO incorporates all functionality associated with FedTeDS, which now allows the Government to shut down the site used to manage secure documents and save more than $1.5 million annually.
