SP -- NOTIFICATION OF ELECTRONIC POSTING SYSTEM (EPS) USE Effective October 1, 1999, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) will be using the General Services Administration (GSA) Electronic Posting System (EPS) to publicize synopses of all its open market business opportunities exceeding $25,000. Until the law changes, all such opportunities will also continue to be announced in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD). The EPS site will also be used for posting synopses of open market opportunities below the $25,000 threshold to promote efficiency. EPS is located at www.eps.gov on the World Wide Web. It is free to all vendors. If you desire, EPS will regularly notify you automatically of all business opportunities in its database of interest to you. You need only perform a simple, one-time, online registration. This feature is especially valuable for small businesses.
