SP -- POSTING OF SOLICITATIONS AND RELATED DOCUMENTS ON GSA'S ELECTRONIC POSTING SYSTEM The General Services Administration (GSA) is among five agencies participating in a pilot program to post solicitations and related documents on the Internet. This program, known as the Electronic Posting System (EPS), is intended to enhance public access to the Federal Government_s business opportunities by providing on-line access 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Postings may be viewed grouped by all participating agencies, grouped by each participating agency, or grouped by participating sub elements of each agency. Additional search and sorting capabilities allow perspective offerors to retrieve documents based on classification code or posted date. A functional part of EPS is its Acquisition Notification Services which provides automated e-mail notification of new postings to registered parties. The Acquisition Notification Service features on-line registration that may be configured by the registrant so as to provide e-mail notification limited by product classification or organization. As a major element of GSA, the Federal Supply Service (FSS) shall actively participate in the EPS pilot program. We intend to increase the number of solicitations posted on EPS and decrease the number of paper solicitations issued. Some solicitations will be issued only in an electronic format. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for EPS is http://eps.arnet.gov. Once at this URL, select the path _EPS for vendors._ Registration for e-mail notification is then accomplished through the _Acquisition Notification Service_ link at the top of the page.
