Do you still need a DUNS number to register with SAM?

In 2022, the Duns and Bradstreet (DUNS) number was phased out and replaced with SAM’s own Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Obtaining that UEI is part of the process of registering in SAM, so you don’t “need” a UEI as you automatically receive one when you register for the first time.

If you are unsure if you have a UEI, follow the steps below:

    • At the top of this page, select “SAM * UEI Status Tool”
    • Input your company’s full legal business name (or CAGE Code, if known)
    • Solve the security question and select “Check SAM Status NOW”
    • Allow the page to generate a brief summary of your SAM Registration that includes:
      • UEI
      • Expiration Date
      • Primary NAICS Codes
      • PSC and FSC Codes
      • Primary POC’s
      • and more
