Category: UEI

The Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) is a distinct 12 character code given to entities like businesses and nonprofits registering with the U.S. federal government, used for managing federal contracts and awards. Since April 2022, the UEI has replaced the DUNS Number as the main identifier in federal dealings, generated by the GSA within SAM.gov. This eliminates the previous requirement for a DUNS Number, streamlining engagement with federal agencies through a government-issued identifier. In order to receive funds in any form from the federal government, you must have a UEI, as well as an active SAM Registration.

 

If you need a UEI, or are unsure if you have one, USBRI can assist with the entire process. We have been helping businesses for over 11 years with registering and renewing SAM Registrations, as well as other Federal Certifications. Call the Help Desk at (888) 646-9998 Mon-Fri 9am-5pm EST to find out more about how USBRI can help you get started with government contracting.

The Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) itself, issued through SAM.gov as part of your entity registration, does not expire. However, your SAM.gov registration, which includes your UEI, must be renewed annually to remain active. If your SAM.gov registration expires, your UEI will effectively become inactive in the context of being able to receive federal contracts or grants.

To check the status of your UEI/Registration, use the tool below by entering the corresponding Company Name, CAGE Code, or UEI. You will be able to access information like expiration date, address, points of contact, NAICS Codes, and PSC Codes.
