All interested offerors should register in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov).  DLA Energy has a mandatory electronic Enterprise Business System (EBS), which must be utilized in order to receive a contract award.  Registration in various other websites/systems must be accomplished in order to perform under a resulting contract.  These systems cover items such as electronic ordering, invoicing and payment/payment status.
