ATTACH_09_Before_Starting_Business_with_NAVFAC_2023.pdf

This is a procedural guide for conducting business with NAVFAC (Naval Facilities Engineering Command). The document outlines three sequential steps required for companies to begin contracting with NAVFAC: obtaining an NCAGE CODE (a five-digit corporate identification code), registering with SAM (System for Award Management), and searching for contract opportunities within SAM's Contract Opportunity section.

The NCAGE CODE must be obtained through the NATO portal (https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/public/default_eportal.aspx) using the company's English-language name and address. SAM registration occurs at https://sam.gov/ using the NCAGE CODE and detailed company information; registrations remain valid for one year from the registration date and must be renewed before expiration. Once registered in SAM, companies can log in to search and view available contract opportunities. The guide references NAVFAC FAR EAST's website for detailed instructions on obtaining codes and registering with both systems. For contract-related inquiries, companies should contact NAVFAC FE Contracting Office at the Yokosuka Base (Tel: 046-816-4092; E-mail: NAVFACFE-ACQ@us.navy.mil). For registration or system-specific questions, inquiries should be directed to the help desks listed on each respective website.
