About this file
This is a user reference guide for entity registration on SAM.gov, the official U.S. government system for contract opportunities and federal assistance awards. The guide provides step-by-step instructions for registering entities seeking to bid on federal contracts or apply for federal assistance, with a focus on the "Register Entity for All Awards" option that assigns a Unique Entity ID.
The registration process consists of multiple sections: entity information entry (legal business name and physical address), entity validation through matching existing records, Unique Entity ID assignment, and completion of Core Data including business information, IRS consent, CAGE/NCAGE codes, ownership details, predecessor details, general information, and financial information. Registrants must also complete Assertions (goods and services, size metrics, EDI information, and disaster response information), Representations and Certifications (FAR and DFARS responses addressing compliance topics such as small business status, procurement practices, and defense contracting), and Points of Contact with mandatory and optional designations. The guide emphasizes that registrations must be renewed every 365 days to remain active and that entity administrators are responsible for ensuring accuracy. Key requirements include providing taxpayer identification information, Electronic Funds Transfer banking details, executive compensation details if applicable, and certification of all representations and certifications. The guide is not a solicitation document but rather an instructional tool to assist entities through the registration workflow on SAM.gov.
