No. As of 2022, the DUNS number (provided by Dun & Bradstreet) was phased out and now SAM provides what is called a UEI (Unique Entity Identifier). In order to do any sort of business with the federal government, like bidding on grants and contracts, you need the UEI number.

There are two ways to go about obtain a UEI:

    1. Doing the SAM Registration process on your own using online resources (can take 2-3 months)
    2. Using a firm such as USBRI who has been assisting small business’s with filing for SAM and SBA Certifications for over 12 years (4-6 weeks).
