A primary source for agencies to learn about prospective vendors is a government-
maintained database (CCR/PRO-Net) of companies wanting to do business with the
government, the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). This database is a marketing
tool for businesses and a searchable list of prospective vendors for the government.
The database provides agencies with the ability to search for companies based on their
abilities, size, location, experience, ownership, etc.

Business Search (DSBS), developed as a database of small businesses by the SBA,
have recently merged to provide a single searchable database of large and small
vendors, for use by agencies and vendors. The CCR contains a PRO-Net supplement
which collects and maintains specific information about and pertaining to small
businesses. The CCR and DSBS are part of the Integrated Acquisition Environment
(IAE), undertaken pursuant to the President’s Management Agenda for Electronic
Government.
