Jan 2015 Step by Step Registration Instructions For Federal Government Contracts

Step 1: You must establish a Data Universal Numbering System or D-U-N-S® Number. It is a unique nine digit identification number, for each physical location of your business. D-U-N-S Number assignment is FREE for all businesses required to register with the US Federal government for contracts or grants. Copy the following website into your internet browser to request your D-U-N-S Number via the Web: www.dnb.com

Step 2: Once your DUNS is established (usually 1 business day), you must register in the System for Award Management (SAM) system. Once you receive confirmation of your SAM account, you will be assigned a Cage Code number. This number is unique for your company and is required for registration in the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) system. Copy the following website into your internet browser: http://www.sam.gov/

Step 3: Register at Online Representations and Certifications Application also on the SAM website: https://www.sam.gov/

Your company is now ready to do business with the Federal Government!

Step 4: When you are awarded your first contract, you will need to establish a vendor group with your CAGE code by calling the Customer Support Center-phone number (toll free 1-866-618-5988) or send an email to DISA Ogden at cscassig@ogden.disa.mil

Step 5: After you receive a contract award, you must register into the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) invoicing system. You will need the cage code number established in Step 2 to complete your account registration. Copy the following website into your internet browser: https://wawf.eb.mil/
