SAM.GOV UEI VERIFICATION
On April 4, 2022, the federal government stopped using the DUNS Number to uniquely identify entities.
Now, entities doing business with the federal government use the Unique Entity ID created in SAM.gov.
They no longer have to go to a third -party website to obtain their identifier. This transition allows the
government to streamline the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less
burdensome for entities to do business with the federal government.
This RFP includes federal funding, and as such, the proposer must provide verification of their SAM.gov
UEI and registration status. Please attach your entity's registration from SAM.gov, including UEI and
active registration status.
