Yes, there is a difference. The printed CBD is the “public notification media by which U.S. Government agencies identify proposed contract actions and contract awards.” (See FAR §5.101). When a notice appears in the printed CBD, the clock begins for meeting the requirements of FAR §5.203. CBDNet is the Government’s electronic version of the CBD. CBDNet notices are viewable immediately after acceptance, but do not meet the requirements of the FAR Part 5 until they appear in the printed CBD. Notices should appear in the printed CBD approximately 2 days AFTER appearing in CBDNet; but one can presume that the notice has been published 6 days after electronic transmission of a synopsis, unless there exists evidence to the contrary. (See FAR §5.203(g)).
