Government Specifications For Your Project.

Finding the right Specifications and standards for your project from your local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) can provide you with the specs you need and, in most cases, they will either charge only a small fee or provide them for free.

Either way, it ensures that you get the specs required by the solicitation. (Go to http://www.aptac-us.org/new/ to find your local PTAC.)

There are also private subscription service that charge a fee on the Internet that are quick and easy.

Web Tools that allow you to view Government Solicitations.

The following tools and links can assist you in viewing solicitations and technical drawings.

• Adobe Acrobat Reader: The free Adobe Acrobat Reader allows you to view the solicitations that are offered by the many sources contributing to DoDBusOpps.com.

• CALS Raster Format Viewer: The CALS Raster Format Viewer is required to view technical drawings. DoDBusOpps is aware of two viewers that support this format:

  • ImageR is an image viewer for viewing and manipulating various types of raster and vector files. You must register with the JEDMICS web site to download ImageR.

  • SwiftView's Plug-In is a free trial download. After a several week trial, there is a 30-second time delay before each document is viewed. Information on licensing is available from this site.
