The Small Business Administration integrated its small business database, PRO-Net, with the Defense Department's Central Contractor Registration system.
Small businesses can enter their information in both databases simultaneously. CCR will rely on PRO-Net as the authoritative source for vendors certified under SBA's small-business contracting programs, such as 8(a). Eventually, CCR will become the Business Partner Network, part of the Integrated Acquisition Environment, an OMB e-government project. The network will be a single point for vendor registration and validation.
