All contractors must be registered and active in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) prior to award of a contract or receipt of Bid/Proposal/Quote. All proposed contractors are highly encouraged to review FAR Clause 52.232-33 Payments by Electronic Funds Transfer – System for Award Management, which indicates “All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT).”





Those not currently registered can obtain registration by going to the SAM. The process for an active registration can take 12-15 days. Contractors will need to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (formerly DUNS number) prior to processing their registration. If you do not already have a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), request a UEI for free by visiting Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) at https://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/ which takes 1-2 business days for processing.





ALERT: You must submit a notarized letter appointing the authorized Entity Administrator before your registration will be activated. This requirement applies to both new and existing entities. The notarized letter is mandatory and is required to be submitted to the GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD).



Information can be found at https://www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0016652&sys_kb_id=32924a0a1b4bf050070f202ce54bcb38&spa=1)





Vendors can check whether an account is active by performing a query by their CAGE or Unique Entity Identifier (formally known as DUNS). The new registration process may now take several weeks, so vendors are highly encouraged to begin registering as soon as possible to avoid any possible delays in future contract awards. Remember, there is no cost to use SAM.





To find out additional information about the changes of the SAM registration process, contractors should visit the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) located on the SAM.gov homepage located in the Most Popular Help Items after selecting Help.
