Unique_Entity_ID_(SAM).pdf

The document is a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) form issued by the City of Pasadena, California, designed for contractors to provide their SAM.gov-registered 12-character alphanumeric identifier when responding to a contract opportunity. The form requires contractors to complete fields including project name, contractor name, business address, contact information, and the mandatory UEI. The document explicitly states that failure to submit the UEI may result in the response being deemed non-responsive, emphasizing the critical nature of this identification requirement for potential contractors.

While the form itself does not contain specific contract details, it is part of the procurement process for the Pasadena Winter Shelter Operator project, a low-barrier hypothermia prevention program providing temporary shelter to individuals experiencing homelessness during the winter months (December 1 through March 31). The UEI requirement is part of the city's standard vendor verification process, likely aimed at ensuring contractor legitimacy, tracking, and compliance with federal procurement standards through the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) registration process.
