SAM Registration Requirement:

Offerors shall be registered in the SAM (System for Award Management) database at https://www.sam.gov prior to the submittal of their offer/proposal as prescribed under FAR

4.1102. Failure to be registered at the time of proposal submission may deem the offeror’s proposal non-responsible, and no further consideration will be given.

While SAM registration is required prior to contract award, you are still able to submit your proposal without being fully registered in SAM. However, please note that registration must be completed before the contract can be awarded.

Therefore, offerors are highly encouraged to complete their SAM registration before the award process to ensure eligibility for timely contract award and to avoid any delays.
