If you received an email stating that your SAM CAGE Code is set to expire, follow these suggested steps:
- Read the fine print at the bottom of the email before anything else
- Be cautious clicking on links or downloading any attachments
- Check the email address of the sender. Any email from the Federal Government ends with a “.gov” or “.mil“, if not, then it is most likely a creative marketing email from a private organization offering services
- Be highly cautious taking any immediate actions from incoming calls or emails regarding any of these topics
- If you are unsure, feel free to reach out to USBRI for advice or assistance
A number of these particular emails seem to speak of a an entity’s SAM CAGE Code “expiring” in order to get a response from the email receiver. When a SAM Registration is created and goes active, the CAGE Code associated with that entity automatically “renews”. According to DLA/CAGE, your CAGE Code will remain active for 5 years after your SAM registration becomes active. Every time your entity’s registration is renewed and active, your CAGE Code will renew with it.
