All contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (www.SAM.gov) prior to submission of
proposal. All proposed contractors are highly encouraged to review FAR Clause 52.232-33 Payments by Electronic
Funds Transfer - System for Award Management, which indicates "All payments by the Government under this
contract shall be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT)." Those not currently registered can obtain registration by
going to the website http://www.SAM.gov. The process can usually be completed from 24 to 48 hours after
submission. Contractors will need to obtain a Unique Entity Identifier for processing their registration. If you do not
already have a Unique Entity Identifier, one can be obtained from http://www.SAM.gov. Refer to www.SAM.gov
for information.

Please begin the registration process immediately in order to avoid delay of the contract award should your firm be
selected.

ALERT: You must submit a notarized letter appointing the authorized Entity Administrator before your
registration will be activated. This requirement now applies to both new and existing entities. Effective 29 April
2018, the notarized letter process is now mandatory on all CURRENT registrants at SAM who have a requirement
to update data on their SAM record. The notarized letter is mandatory and is required before the GSA Federal
Service Desk (FSD) will activate the entity's registration.
Effective 29 June 2018, vendors creating or updating their registration can have their registration activated prior to
the approval of the required notarized letter. However, the signed copy of the notarized letter must be sent to the
GSA Federal Service Desk (FSD) within 30 days of activation or the vendor risks no longer being active in SAM.
Vendors can check whether an account is active by performing a query by their CAGE or Unique Entity Identifier
(formerly known as DUNS). The new registration process may now take several weeks, so vendors are highly
encouraged to begin registering as soon as possible to avoid any possible delays in future contract awards.
Remember, there is no cost to use SAM.

To find out additional information about the changes of the SAM registration process, contractors should visit the
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) link located at the top of the SAM homepage (www.sam.gov).
