If you are having trouble registering in SAM.gov, follow the steps below:
-
- To start the SAM Registration, access to the old registration itself is necessary. If no one has access, a notarize letter will need to be prepared.
- After access is granted, update the SAM Registration with relevant and recent information.
- After the registration is complete, it will go through IRS and CAGE/DLA validation.
- Once active, it must be renewed every year* to continue with any active federal contracts or grants.
*If it goes inactive, all payments will cease until it is activated again.
