Please note the attached important information regarding a temporary requisitioning announcement: 

 

The Department of Commerce (DOC) will be transitioning (in C.Award and FPDS-NG) to a new Procurement Instrument Identifier (PIID) on April 1, 2018. This is a mandatory transition that DOC financial systems are not yet prepared for, resulting in short-term impacts to NOAA's procurement activities.

 

Please see (and share!) the NOAA PIID Operational Gap Strategy (https://goo.gl/8VHvSv) for information on how AGO is coordinating efforts to ensure NOAA's mission is minimally affected. Please note that there are additional links provided at the end of the strategy document.

 

AGO hopes that you will attend one of the webinars scheduled to provide additional understanding of the information contained above. The registration for all webinar sessions is at https://goo.gl/nhR8p6.

 

We appreciate your support as we work to make this transition as seamless as possible for all stakeholders.  

 

Sincerely,

 

Kristen S. Evangelista
