ABOUT SAM.GOV
The Integrated Award Environment (IAE) facilitates the federal awards processes in multiple online systems, including the System for Award Management, or SAM.gov. Those systems are used for registering to do business with the federal government, listing contract opportunities, capturing contractor performance, viewing contract data, searching assistance listings, reporting subcontracts, and more.
The System for Award Management (SAM.gov) is an official website of the U.S. Government. There is no cost to use SAM.gov. Eventually, SAM.gov will offer a single login to navigate the federal award lifecycle. Today, you can use this site to:
- Register to do business with the U.S. Government
- Update, renew, or check the status of your entity registration
- Get a Unique Entity ID
- Search for entity registration and exclusion records
- Search for assistance listings (formerly CFDA.gov), wage determinations (formerly WDOL.gov), and contract opportunities (formerly FBO.gov)
- What you need to get started:
- banking information
- taxpayer identification number
- sales per year average for the past three (3) years
- total number of staff (full and part-time) for the past 12 months
- point of contact information including phone numbers, addresses, and emails
- Federal statistical agencies use the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to classify businesses in order to collect, analyze and publish data related to the US business economy. This four (4)-digit code is used to group commodities into groups and/or classes. The US government uses these codes to describe the products, services and R&D they’ve purchased to gain an understanding of what they purchase and from whom.
- EIN Number this number is completely free and acts like a personal social security number for your business.
- CAGE Code. The Commercial and Government Entity Code is a five (5)-character ID number that’s necessary for any company seeking to win federal government contracts.
- Notarized Letter. All new registrations to SAM.gov must submit a notarized letter appointing an “Entity Administrator.” It’s important to make sure that the person with this designation is someone who can make commitments on behalf of the company. Typically this is a person who holds an executive, officer or partner position. This letter will need to include a wet signature and be mailed to the designated address listed within the registration.
