AVAILABILITY OF HUD SOLICITATIONS VIA THE INTERNET Effective January 2, 1997, all HUD contracting opportunities exceeding $25,000 (except for purchases made against existing GSA contracts) will be publicly announced via HUD's Internet home page contracting site at http://www.hud.gov/cts/ctsoprty.html. Solicitations and amendments to solicitations will also be available for reading and downloading from the same site. This service will offer a quick, effective way to keep informed of what HUD s procuring and to obtain copies of solicitations of direct interest to a business. There is no need to register or be placed on a standing "Solicitation Mailing List." Interested parties may simply browse the available HUD solicitations and select those that fit their particular business interests. Potential offerors are advised that they will NOT automatically receive copies of amendments to solicitations that they have downloaded from HUD's Internet home page. They are strongly encouraged to visit HUD's home page contracting site often to see if any amendments have been issued. HUD will continue to publish all required notices in the Commerce Business Daily. WEB: Click here to visit HUD's Internet contracting home page., http://www.hud.gov/cts/ctshome.html.
