My question relates to the requirement to post notices (synopses, solicitations, etc) to the Government Point of Entry (GPE), but at the same time being required (as an Army employee) to post to the Army Single Face to Industry site (ASFI).
FAR 5.2(b )(1) requires synopses to be posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE) if they don't meet an exception. FAR 5.102(a)(5) requires solicitations be posted to the GPE if they do not meet one of the listed exceptions. The FAR states in 5.201(d) that the GPE for various postings (synopses, solicitations, etc) can be accessed at http://www.fedbizopps.gov, which means to me that FedBizOpps is the GPE.
However, since we are an Army office, we are required by AFARS 5105.101(a)(1) to post all solicitations to Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI) website. Yet that same paragraph also says "ASFI sends data to the Government point of entry, the Federal Business Opportunities".
It is unclear if we must post opportunities via the ASFI site just so that they will be transfered to FedBizOpps, or if posting to ASFI meets the requirement to post to the GPE, and we should be unconcerned if transferring to FedBizOpps happens. Can notices remain on ASFI and still meet the FAR/AFARS requirements to post to the GPE? Or must we ensure all postings to ASFI go to FedBizOpps? I believe other departments (Air Force, Navy, etc) have similar sites to ASFI.
To sum up, are our opportunity postings required to be on ASFI, FedBizOpps, or both?
