SAM.gov is a federal government money portal to track where grant and contract money is going, to who, and for what. Some of the key functions and checks performed by SAM.gov include:
- Entity Registration: Businesses and organizations looking to work with the federal government need to register in SAM.gov. The registration includes details such as business information, obtaining a UEI (Unique Entity Identifier) and CAGE Code, and other necessary data.
- IRS and CAGE Validation: SAM will go through two validation processes after submission, IRS and CAGE.
- Verification of Eligibility: SAM.gov verifies whether entities are eligible to participate in federal procurement activities. This includes checking for compliance with various regulations and ensuring that the entity meets the necessary qualifications.
- Updates and Renewals: SAM.gov allows registered entities to update their information regularly and renew their registration to ensure that the data remains current and accurate.
It’s important to note that specific processes and functionalities on SAM.gov may evolve, and it’s advisable to check the latest information by calling the USBRI Help Desk at 1-888-646-9998 with any questions regarding the process.
USBRI has been offering filing assistance for over 11 years and is constantly on top of any changes with SAM.
