SP -- ELECTRONIC POSTING SYSTEM GSA is implementing a single, agency-wide electronic system for soliciting quotations, bids, and proposals. The Electronic Posting System (EPS) will replace existing GSA systems with duplicate functionality. This system will reduce the costs and improve the efficiency of the acquisition process. The EPS is a World Wide Web-based application that provides an interface with the Commerce Business Daily Net for creating synopses and permits uploading of solicitation files. The EPS also provides vendors access to agency business opportunities and allows them to register to receive e-mail notification of opportunities in their area of interest. Beginning October 1, 1998, the General Services Administration (GSA) will issue written solicitations in electronic format through our Electronic Posting System (EPS). These solicitations will be available on the Internet at: http://eps.arnet.gov. The same site contains information describing the EPS and how to register to receive automatic notices of acquisitions. GSA will provide paper copies of solicitations (and attachments) only when we do not anticipate adequate competition for an acquisition if the solicitation is only made available electronically; when documents are not available electronically; or when release of drawings, exhibits or other attachments must be controlled to ensure adequate security. The related synopsis will explain if the solicitation (and its attachments) is available only WEB: Visit this URL for the latest information about this, http://159.142.150.114/cgi-bin/WebObjects/EPS?ActionCode=S&;ProjectID=M V-98-4&LocationID=128.
