PHISHING EMAILS

This is an original email notification to remind you of the upcoming expiration of your SAM entry.

THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THE REGISTRATION!!!!

From: donotreply@sam.gov donotreply@sam.gov Sent: Monday, December 20, 2021 6:48 AM To: xxxxxx Cc: xxxxxx Subject: ACTION REQUIRED: Your System for Award Management (SAM) Entity Registration for xxxxxxxx / xxxxxxxxxx / xxxxxxxxxxx / xxxx Expires in 60 days on February 18, 2022

This email was sent by an automated administrator. Please do not reply to this message.

Dear xxxxxxxx, Your entity registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) will expire soon. To be eligible for federal awards, you must have an active SAM registration. It is your responsibility to keep your registration current. If you have existing awards with the government, you must renew your SAM registration annually to ensure continued payments.

SAM is an official website of the U.S. federal government. There is NO FEE to register or maintain your SAM registration.

To renew your registration, follow these instructions:

1. Go to https://www.sam.gov and log in

2. In your Workspace, select the Entity Management link

3. On the next page, select the entity you want to update, or search for the entity then select it

4. Select the Action icon to the right that has three vertical dots, then select Update

5. Complete your registration update by following the on-screen instructions

6. Select Submit at the very end. You will see a confirmation message on the screen when you submit your renewal.

7. If you have not previously submitted a notarized letter formally designating the Entity Administrator for your entity, you must do so now. Failure to do so within 60 days of activation may result in the registration no longer being active. NOTE: You are not required to provide a notarized letter for a federal entity registration.

HELPFUL TIPS

1. Plan ahead! U.S. registrations must go through Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) validation. All registrations must go through Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code validation. Together, these processes can take up to 12 business days after you submit your registration. While the average is much faster, allow time for these external processes and begin your renewal now.

2. Get FREE help at https://www.sam.gov in the Help section where you will find the full SAM User Guides, Quick Start Guides, Helpful Hints, Webinars, and answers to Frequently Asked Questions.

3. Check your registration status at any time. Go to https://www.sam.gov and select Check Registration Status at the bottom of the page. Enter your UEI (DUNS), UEI (SAM) or CAGE Code to quickly check your progress.

Remember, this process is entirely FREE to you. It is FREE to register in SAM. It is FREE to get help with your registration from our supporting Federal Service Desk at www.fsd.gov, or by telephone at 866-606-8220 (toll free) or 334-206-7828 (internationally).

In addition, if you are located in the U.S. and its outlying areas, you can get FREE support from your local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), an official resource for government contracting assistance. Go to http://www.aptac-us.org/ to find your closest PTAC.

Thank you, The System for Award Management (SAM) Administrator https://www.sam.gov

Von: CN4P0_info@rpnewregistrant.com Betreff: [Non-DoD Source] SAM BETA

Dear XYZ GMBH, You're receiving this message because you are a new registrant in US Federal Government Registration SAM (System For Award Management) system. Please be aware the GSA (General Services Administration) manages federal acquisition and awards processes in 10 online websites, which are now being merged into one new streamlined system at beta. sam. gov! This means your entity registration will transition here when the original SAM website is retired.

Please be aware that any registrant that does not complete the registration process risks interference and/or delay with Federal Government Funding and/or Awards. SAM registrations must be current, complete, active, and compliant for Federal Government Awards, grants, and payments. According to SAM guidelines and policy, expired and/or non-completed registrations may risk the possibility of becoming placed into deletion of information status within the system.

We are here to ensure registrants are updated and completed properly and compliant with all policies regarding this process, according to the US Federal Government requirements pertaining to the registration belonging to the cage code CN4P0, and keep your registration standing compliant for the entire year.

To begin enrollment in our compliancy assurance management service, select the link below and follow the instructions. You will be contacted by the assigned Compliance Assurance Advisor within 24 business hours for confirmation, or you may call the number below for more information.

BEGIN PROCESS NOW
