About this file
This document contains three standard notices regarding federal contracting requirements and processes. The notices provide information on the transition from DUNS numbers to Unique Entity IDs for entity registration in SAM.gov, the use of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment system for bid submissions to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Southwestern Division, and the requirement for NIST SP 800-171 assessments for contractors handling covered defense information. Specifically, the notices indicate that Unique Entity IDs issued by SAM.gov must now be used instead of DUNS numbers; the Corps' Southwestern Division will use PIEE for submitting bids and proposals electronically rather than file drop services; and contractors seeking covered defense information contracts must have a current NIST SP 800-171 assessment no more than three years old, which can be accessed through PIEE user registration and approval.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS/OFFERORS NO. 1: On April 4, 2022, the unique entity identifier used across the federal government changed from the DUNS Number to the Unique Entity ID (generated by SAM.gov).
· The Unique Entity ID is a 12-character alphanumeric ID assigned to an entity by SAM.gov.
· As part of this transition, the DUNS Number has been removed from SAM.gov.
· Entity registration, searching, and data entry in SAM.gov now require use of the new Unique Entity ID.
· Existing registered entities can find their Unique Entity ID by following the steps here.
· New entities can get their Unique Entity ID at SAM.gov and, if required, complete an entity registration.

There are 4 Steps to search for and download Attachments from the PIEE Solicitation Module (See Attachment ___).

The PIEE Solicitation Module provides a capability for secure, timestamped submission of contractor bids and proposals and was designed specifically to capture the documentation needed to memorialize the date and time of bid/offer submissions, as well as to retain those files and the attendant time and date stamps. It supports large file sizes of 1.9 GB per file, with no limit on the number of files, as well as multiple file formats.
It is recommended that potential offers seeking to do business with the Southwestern Division complete a vendor registration on https://piee.eb.mil/, as you will be required to submit electronic bid/offer submissions through the PIEE Solicitation Module.
There are 10 General Steps a vendor must follow in order to use PIEE application modules. A complete list can be viewed at the following site: https://piee.eb.mil/xhtml/unauth/web/homepage/vendorGettingStartedHelp.xhtml#step5
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS/OFFERORS NO. 3: In accordance with DFARS 204.7302, Contractors and subcontractors are required to provide adequate security on all covered contractor information systems.
Contractors required to implement NIST SP 800-171 by inclusion of clause at 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber incident Reporting, are required at time of award to have at least a Basic NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment that is current (i.e., not more than 3 years old unless a lesser time is specified in the solicitation).
