Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.21.12
According to a post on Central Contractor Registration's website, "On May 29, 2012, the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system is going away. CCR, along with Federal Agency Registration (FedReg), the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS), will be migrated into the new System for Award Management, or SAM." While some details about this transition to SAM are currently available, the government is planning on providing additional information and training materials soon, and contractors should follow these developments closely because the government is reporting that CCR will stop accepting data at 11:59 pm on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, and no new registrations or updates can be submitted via CCR after that time.

The cases involved the U.S. Air Force’s $1.8 billion procurement for O&M services at Elgin Air Force Base. During discussions, the Air Force inadvertently released a pricing overview slide with all offerors’ bottom-line evaluated costs to Reliance Test & Technology, which immediately notified the agency of the error. In response, the Air Force decided to level the playing field by providing the same information to all the other offerors in the procurement, stating, “[o]fferors may consider this disclosure in their [final proposal revision].”
