10. INFORMATION RESOURCES ON HOW TO REGISTER TO BE ELIGIBLE AS A CONTRACTOR WITH THE US GOVERNMENT
In order to do business with the US Government as a contractor, a company must be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM, www.sam.gov). In order to register on SAM, a company must obtain a NCAGE code and a Unique Entity ID number (UEI). You can apply for an NCAGE code and a UEI number simultaneously, but both must be obtained in order to register on SAM.
11. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO REGISTER TO BE ELIGIBLE AS A CONTRACTOR WITH THE US GOVERNMENT:
- t
- NCAGE Code. An NCAGE code is a five-character ID number used by the US Government to identify international companies. All non-US firms must obtain an NCAGE code. How does your company obtain an NCAGE Code? If you are a vendor located outside the United States, one can be obtained at no cost by visiting https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/CageTool/home. Further information about NCAGE codes is available at https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/Docs/US%20Instructions%20for%20NSPA%20NCAGE.pdf. Look for NCAGE Code Request Tool or NCRT ; Generally it takes approximately 24-48 hours to obtain an NCAGE code.
- t
- Unique Entity ID (UEI): Go to https://sam.gov/content/home and click on Get Started under Register your Entity . UEI has replaced the DUNS number in many ways and business entities will need one in order to register on SAM.gov and to do business with the US Government: https://www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0037033&sys_kb_id=07a22df51b6ec554cc45ea04bc4bcbda&spa=1
- t
- SAM Registration. The System for Award Management (SAM) is a registration database required for all US Federal Government Contracts and where you will find contract opportunities all over the world. You can register on SAM at: SAM.gov | Home For additional help at no cost, contact the Federal Service Desk at www.fsd.gov or by telephone at +1-866-606-8220 (toll free) or +1-334-206-7828 (internationally). Generally it takes approximately two weeks for SAM to activate a registration, from the date it receives a completed registration. Please take notice that SAM has an entity registration requirement that firms submit an “original, signed notarized letter before the registration will be activated.” Instructions for international entities (not located in the U.S. or its outlying areas) can be found at: https://sam.gov/content/entity-registration.
