[CAFR-Contacts-News] CFDA.gov going offline on May 25

[HAMILTON Robert W * DAS]

Hello CAFR Contacts,

Please see the announcement below.

CFDA.GOV GOING OFFLINE ON MAY 25

The General Services Administration is transitioning 10 online systems that manage procurement and awards processes to one site called beta.SAM.gov<https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=08a1d0f286&e=224cba0fa0>. On May 25, 2018 GSA is transitioning the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA.gov) to the new site and calling it Assistance Listings. This means that on May 25, CFDA.gov will shut down, and users who go there will be redirected to beta.SAM.gov<https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=9f146c8bd8&e=224cba0fa0>.

While parts of the beta.SAM.gov<https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=eb8a4aca9a&e=224cba0fa0> site are official (such as assistance listings), others are demonstration only and continue to be supported on one of our original websites. As the nine remaining sites gradually migrate, their functionality will become official on beta.SAM.gov<https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=ac913a4abf&e=224cba0fa0>. Once the original SAM.gov site retires, beta.SAM.gov<https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=9ed47f07ad&e=224cba0fa0> will be renamed SAM.gov.

In migrating assistance listings information, we also made significant improvements. For example, searching for assistance listings is now much more comprehensive and robust on beta.SAM.gov<https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=082477d15e&e=224cba0fa0>. Search results have better information and functionality, such as the ability to click on links to partner sites such as Grants.gov<grants.gov> directly.
