FedBizOpps
Defining and Announcing Design Excellence Opportunities
FedBizOpps Announcement Templates
B A S I C FAC TS
These files are intended to help you quickly prepare a FedBizOpps (FBO) announcement
to solicit a lead designer and A/E team for your project. If you have any questions, please
consult the Design Excellence: Policies and Procedures or contact the project coordinator
in the Office of the Chief Architect. You may also contact the director of the Office of the
Chief Architect Center for Design Excellence and the Arts.
These standard FedBizOpps announcements have been developed to make it easier for
lead designers and A/E teams to go after GSA projects. Because firms pursue projects
a round the country, it is important that our announcements be as uniform as possible
to ensure national coherence. Since the manpower and re p roduction costs necessary to
p re p a re submission materials can be very expensive for lead designers and A/E teams
pursuing our projects, it is important for us to keep that in mind in preparing a
solicitation announcement.

Much of any FedBizOpps announcement is standard boilerplate that should remain
constant from project to project. This "standard" text appears in black. Where project
specific information is called for, the requested data appears in color. A description of
what specifically needs to be included is provided along with an occasional example
of how the text might read. The goal is to make this document as simple as possible to
complete. It is also intended to facilitate review of this announcement by the Office of
the Chief Architect. Please keep all changes confined to the red areas. All new, project
specific text should remain in red so that it is easily identifiable.
