Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements by calling 1-888-227- 2423, or at: https://www.sam.gov.

(1) Lack of registration in the SAM.gov database will make a bidder ineligible for award. SEE CONTRACT CLAUSE 52.204-7 ENTITLED "System for Award Management".

(2) This requirement now applies to both new and existing entities. Make sure your SAM profile includes "all awards" and not just "Federal Assistance Awards" as this option is only for grants and cooperative agreements. Please visit https://sam.gov for more information.
