<br>
The General Services Administration is transitioning 10 online systems that manage procurement and awards processes to one site called
<a href="https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=08a1d0f286&e=224cba0fa0">
<span style="color:#009CDE">beta.SAM.gov</span></a>. On May 25, 2018 GSA is transitioning the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA.gov) to the new site and calling it Assistance Listings. This means that on May 25, CFDA.gov will shut down, and users
who go there will be redirected to <a href="https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=9f146c8bd8&e=224cba0fa0">
<span style="color:#009CDE">beta.SAM.gov</span></a>.<br>
<br>
While parts of the <a href="https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=eb8a4aca9a&e=224cba0fa0">
<span style="color:#009CDE">beta.SAM.gov</span></a> site are official (such as assistance listings), others are demonstration only and continue to be supported on one of our original websites. As the nine remaining sites gradually migrate, their functionality
will become official on <a href="https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=ac913a4abf&e=224cba0fa0">
<span style="color:#009CDE">beta.SAM.gov</span></a>. Once the original SAM.gov site retires,
<a href="https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=9ed47f07ad&e=224cba0fa0">
<span style="color:#009CDE">beta.SAM.gov</span></a> will be renamed SAM.gov. <br>
<br>
In migrating assistance listings information, we also made significant improvements. For example, searching for assistance listings is now much more comprehensive and robust on
<a href="https://nasact.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=61c76c4b320bf504df577d7d7&id=082477d15e&e=224cba0fa0">
<span style="color:#009CDE">beta.SAM.gov</span></a>. Search results have better information and functionality, such as the ability to click on links to partner sites such as
<a href="grants.gov"><span style="color:#009CDE">Grants.gov</span></a> directly.<br>
