You may include in your proposal any comments on any information entered into the R/Q section in SAM.gov about your organization that a federal awarding agency previously entered. SAMHSA will consider your comments, in addition to other information in R/Q, in making a judgment about your organization’s integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under federal awards when completing the review of risk posed as described in 45 CFR 75.205 HHS Awarding Agency Review of Risk Posed by Applicants.
