Q-10: What is SAM?

A: SAM is the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). All vendors shall be registered in SAM to receive Government contracts. The FBI utilizes a financial system that has a direct interface with the SAM. If any current FBI vendor data conflicts with SAM Data, the information contained in SAM may override our current information. Please ensure that your company’s SAM information is updated and accurate. This includes: TIN, EFT, DUNs, addresses, and contact information. The EFT banking information on file in SAM will be what the FBI uses to process payment to your organization. If the contractor does not maintain an active registration in SAM, payments will be held until registration is reactivated. The FBI is not responsible for prompt payment penalties or delays in payment processing due to inaccurate or outdated information in SAM.

Q-11: How will I get paid?

A: Once the service has been completed the contractor will submit the invoice through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). IPP is a secure, web-based electronic invoicing system provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRSTL). IPP is available at no cost to any commercial vendor or independent contractor doing business with a participating government agency. To learn more about IPP, please visit IPP.gov.
