The Commerce Business Daily (CBD) is an archived FDsys collection.

In accordance with changes in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) designating Federal Business Opportunities as the single point of universal electronic public access on the Internet for government-wide Federal procurement opportunities that exceed $25,000, CBDNet ceased to accept notices effective midnight, January 1, 2002. Notices received on GPO's CBD system by midnight, January 1, and manuscripts received by 3:00 p.m. on January 2, were included in the final GPO print version of the CBD on January 4, 2002.

The Commerce Business Daily (CBD) lists notices of proposed government procurement actions, contract awards, sales of government property, and other procurement information. Each edition contains approximately 500-1,000 notices. Each notice appears in the CBD only once. The CBD Archive contains notices from December 2, 1996 to January 2, 2002.
