Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI)

Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI) is the U.S. Army's dedicated online acquisition portal where contracting offices across the Army post solicitations, pre-solicitation notices, amendments, and award notifications directly to industry. It functions as a complement to SAM.gov, providing a centralized Army-specific interface for contractors seeking to work with Army commands.

What is Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI)?

ASFI is managed by the Army Contracting Command (ACC) and serves as a supplement to the government-wide SAM.gov contract opportunities database. While federal law under FAR Part 5 requires agencies to post synopses and solicitations on SAM.gov, Army contracting offices also use ASFI to publish solicitation packages, request for information (RFI) documents, and supporting attachments that may be too large or cumbersome for the SAM.gov posting interface.

The ASFI portal allows contractors to search for opportunities by command, geographic location, product or service code, and date range. Contractors can register on the ASFI platform to receive automated email notifications when new solicitations are posted in their area of interest or when amendments are issued to solicitations they are tracking. This is particularly useful for Army acquisition activities that move quickly and issue multiple amendments before a solicitation closes.

Army commands that post frequently on ASFI include the Army Contracting Command-Rock Island, Army Contracting Command-Redstone, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and various program executive offices. Requirements range from engineering and construction to information technology, logistics, and professional services.

Why it matters for contractors

Contractors targeting Army work should monitor ASFI alongside SAM.gov because solicitation packages and pre-solicitation notices sometimes appear on ASFI before a formal SAM.gov synopsis is issued, or with more detailed documentation than is attached to the SAM.gov notice. Missing an ASFI posting can mean missing an early opportunity to submit questions, attend a site visit, or prepare a competitive proposal before the deadline.

Registering on ASFI for email alerts by command or commodity area is a low-cost way to maintain a continuous watch on Army acquisition activity without relying exclusively on manual SAM.gov searches. Contractors who already perform work with specific Army commands benefit from monitoring that command's ASFI postings to identify recompete timelines and new adjacent requirements.

Example

A logistics support firm tracks the Army Contracting Command-Rock Island using ASFI email alerts. It receives a notification three days before a formal SAM.gov synopsis appears for a transportation services requirement. The firm uses the additional days to review the draft statement of work, prepare clarifying questions for the industry day, and begin assembling its teaming arrangements, giving it a meaningful head start over competitors who only monitored SAM.gov.
