For the second time in 2017, the General Services Administration is requesting feedback on ways to reduce its reliance on the proprietary business entity identifier system it uses to keep track of government contracts.
GSA posted a request for information Oct. 25, soliciting possible replacement for the current contract and grant identifying system.
As it stands, the federal contracting system relies on the Data Universal Numbering System, or DUNS number, from Dun and Bradstreet, whose contract for business identifiers is set to expire in 2018.
