System for Award Management (SAM)

Registration

In order to be eligible for a Federal Contract, Award, Assistance or Grant; organizations must have an active and compliant SAM Registration in place that has been approved by the IRS and DLA. Once an organization has that in place, they will have the ability to view, bid on and be awarded Federal Government Contracts, Awards, Grants and many other Federally funded projects.

Annual Renewal Process

The United States Federal Government requires all SAM Registrants to conduct an annual and/or semi-annual renewal of their registration and/or certification in order to maintain the most up-to-date data system possible. Any changes or new additions to an entity should be updated in a reasonable time frame. Organizations that fail to conduct the mandatory annual renewal process are at risk of being denied Federal contracts/awards/funding. Organizations that fail to update necessary Entity Management Core Data will automatically be considered Non-Compliant. Any lapse in the SAM registration may also place a hold on funds payable to your organization.
