The FedBizOpps staff is not authorized to determine the classification code for any FedBizOpps notice. Since a misclassified contract action fails to notify the firms most likely to respond and therefore may violate the Competition in Contracting Act (CICA), the contracting officer is held responsible for correctly classifying a FedBizOpps notice. A misclassified contracting action must be corrected and re-synopsized in FedBizOpps. Detailed classification codes are available on the FedBizOpps website at: http://FedBizOpps.gov.
