FedConnect® - Overview
FedConnect® is a secure web portal that links government acquisition and grants professionals with their vendor and grant applicant communities to help increase competition, achieve socio-economic goals, meet performance objectives, and realize strategic sourcing.
Hosted by Compusearch and provided as a cloud computing solution, FedConnect bridges the gap in the electronic acquisition and grants management processes by helping government agencies efficiently capture and manage both transactions and interactions with vendors/grant applicants in a structured and secure environment.
FedConnect® is much more than just an advertising site for government opportunities. FedConnect® provides secure, bi-directional communication between the government and vendors/grant applicants, as well as the ability for direct submission of bids, proposals, and grant applications directly into the agency acquisition/grants management systems. Once the award determination is made, FedConnect® can deliver the award and manage all post award communication and activity with the vendor/grant recipient. With all of this bi-directional functionality, FedConnect® is the perfect complement to FedBizOpps and Grants.gov.
