What is the SAM Profile Grade?

Receiving an email with the subject of a SAM “profile grade” is a marketing campaign from a company soliciting their services. If you received an email stating about your System for Award Management (“SAM”) profile grade, follow these suggested steps:

• • Read the fine print at the bottom of the email before anything else
    
  • Be cautious clicking on links or downloading any attachments
  • Check the email address of the sender. Any email from the Federal Government ends with a “.gov” or “.mil“, if not, then it is most likely a creative marketing email from a private organization offering services
    
  • Be highly cautious taking any immediate actions from incoming calls or emails regarding any of these topics
