GSA eBuy Introduces New Improvements on August 14
On August 14, GSA eBuy will roll out new data elements and quality-of-life upgrades for both buyers and sellers. (Buy.GSA.Gov August 11, 2025)
For buyers:
You can now indicate whether you are requesting quotes (RFQs), proposals (RFPs), or information (RFIs). Request numbers will display updated prefixes to reflect the type of request you create (e.g., RFI1234567 or RFP8901234). (ibid)
We have also added new fields on the “request details” page so you can share more specific information about your postings:
- Follow-on Requirement — Check Box
- Historical Task Order Number (PIID from FPDS)
- Previous RFI Information — Check Box
- Commercial or Non-commercial — Radio Button
- Contract Type — Dropdown
- Award Method — Dropdown
- Ordering Contracting Officer
- Ordering Contracting Specialist (ibid)
For sellers:
You will now see this additional information, helping you match your offerings more precisely to buyer requests. (ibid)
