Army Single Entry Point

AFARS 5105.101 Methods of Disseminating Information - (a)(1) Contracting offices will post all solicitations to the Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI) Acquisition Business website (https://acquisition.army.mil/asfi/). ASFI provides industry partners with a single Army entry point and a simplified method for conducting new business opportunities searches. Army encourages industry partners to register in ASFI for submission of proposals via the secure bid response system. ASFI sends data to the Government point of entry, the Federal Business Opportunities website (http://www.fedbizopps.gov/).

ASFI is another search vehicle; however, as stated above, the information uploaded to ASFI is also available on FedBizOpps
