G.3.0. CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION PROCESS ------- DUNS/CCR/ORCA ---------- REQUIRED:

All vendors who wish to do business with the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service must first be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database and complete the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA).

· All vendors, including individuals, are required to obtain a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number, a unique, nine-character identification number provided by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). If you do not already have a DUNS number, call D&B at 1-866-705-5711 to obtain your free number. The process takes about 10 minutes and is free of charge. You can view instructions for obtaining your DUNS number at www.ccr.gov/pdfs/DUNSGuideGovVendors.pdf . You must have a DUNS number to register in CCR.

· Using your DUNS number, register with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Go to their website at www.ccr.gov (preferred method) or call the CCR Assistance Center at 1-888-227-2423 to obtain a hard copy registration form. Also call the CCR Assistance Center if you need help while navigating the website. YOU MUST HAVE AN ACTIVE REGISTRATION TO BE AWARDED A PROCUREMENT ACTION. You must update your registration whenever you change phone numbers, address, banking information, etc. or at least annually to keep it active.

· Once you register, the CCR administrators will mail you a Trading Partner Identification Number (TPIN). You must have your DUNS number and TPIN to update your registration. Keep these in a safe place where you can find them. If you misplace or forget your TPIN, go to www.ccr.gov , click on Register in CCR, click Update/Renew, click CCR Update TPIN. In the large green box at the top of the screen you will see “Don’t know your TPIN? Click here for TPIN letter request.” A new TPIN will be mailed to you at the address you used in CCR. Do NOT give anyone your TPIN or MPIN numbers.

· Make sure you use the same federal Taxpayer Identification (TIN) in CCR that you use to do business with the government. This may be a social security number for individuals or sole proprietors and an Employer Identification Number for others. It must be the same TIN you use to pay taxes for your business to IRS.

· For vendors responding to a solicitation, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) or an Emergency Equipment Rental Agreement (EERA) the Federal Acquisition Regulation requires the use of the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) as part of the proposal submission process. To register in ORCA you must have two items: an active CCR record and a Marketing Personal Identification Number (MPIN) identified in your CCR record. Your DUNS number and MPIN act as your company’s ID and password into ORCA. To enter your information via the Internet go to https://orca.bpn.gov .

· Provide your TIN number and DUNS number to the contracting office with whom you are doing business. The office will go on line to verify your active registration in CCR and ORCA. If you have not completed BOTH registrations, you may be excluded from consideration for an award or agreement.

· NOTE: If you make any changes to your address, phone or bank account information in CCR, be sure to notify any federal offices with whom you do business so they can have your finance record updated. If your finance record is not updated, payments will continue to be routed to your old bank account.
