Beginning this month, the Small Business Administration's database of small businesses wishing to do contract with government agencies is being integrated into the Department of Defenses Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database.

I don't have much to say about this, but I noticed I'd yet to utilize the Gov to Business category. The one thing I will add is that when it comes to information retrieval, centralized databases are almost always a superior option than several smaller decentralized resourses. The president's goal is for a single, integrated aquisition tool, known as the Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE). This tool would be made available as a government-wide resouces, and with the merger of SBA's and the DoD's databases into the CCR, they are now much closer to that goal.
