The System for Award Management (SAM) is the Official U.S. Government’s system for government-wide acquisitions and award support systems.
The SAM is used by anyone interested in the business of the Federal Government, including:
- Entities (contractors, federal assistance recipients, and other potential award recipients) who need to register to do business with the government, look for opportunities or assistance programs, or report subcontract information;
- Government contracting and grants officials responsible for activities with contracts, grants, past performance reporting and suspension and debarment activities;
Public users searching for government business information.
Who should register?
SAM registration is recommended for all contractors interested in doing business with the U.S. Government. For foreign vendors, registration is REQUIRED for any entity wishing to participate in tendering exercises for contract awards estimated at $25,000 and above.
There is no charge to register and the application can be requested online from the SAM official website www.sam.gov.
