  • Request explicit access to view controlled, unclassified packages with explicit access designation.
  • Respond electronically to RFIs, RFQs, and RFPs directly through the web site, when a buyer has enabled this method of response.

Government Buyers and/or properly registered government contracts, once registered in FBO, can:

  • Create, maintain, and update a buyer profile
  • Create, modify/amend, or cancel an Opportunity Notice
  • Manage document package content, and vendor accessibility to package documents
  • Upload non-sensitive documents (and attach existing controlled, unclassified documents to notices)

  • Create non-FBO solicitation links to packages not tied to FBO solicitations
