Government must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database prior to submitting a quotation. Note: Registering in “SAM” does not constitute an automatic award of any contract or agreement to the registering contractor. SAM is a centralized database consolidating the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), the online Representation and

Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS). Additionally, the contractor’s “DUNS and BRADSTREET” and banking information are required for the SAM registration. Annual confirmation of registration requirements must be accomplished through the

SAM website at https://www.sam.gov. For assistance with registering in SAM, contact the

Federal Services Desk at 1-866-606-8220.

Payment requests for the anticipated contract are required to be submitted electronically through the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) system.
