The GPE will be used when publicizing requirements because it is recognized by the supplier community as an excellent source for information regarding purchase opportunities and RFPs. The CO will publicize requirements by posting the finalized RFP to the GPE, known as FedBizOpps, at www.fedbizopps.gov. The GPE can also be accessed electronically by the public. If using the GPE, publicizing must not occur later than issue of the RFP.
