GSA now competing FFATA database work

Matt Jillings at Compusearch pinged me about this posting [PDF version] on FedBizOpps for “The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Data”. This seems to replace the prior sole source procurement intended for Eagle Eye, who developed FedSpending.org. I wonder why GSA is now competing this requirement?

Anyway, it’s almost impossible for anyone else to compete on this legitimately, given the Statement of Work (AttachmentII-StatementofWork.doc), and the fact that bids are due on August 24th.
