SUBJECT:    DUNS Number Annual Renewal Updated Website link
DATE:           March 24, 2017
 
The Multifamily Northeast Regional Office has asked that we remind all Owners with Project-Based Section 8 Rental Assistance Contracts or Section 202 or 811 Project Rental Assistance Contracts of the requirement to obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Numbering System (DUNS) Number and to register with SAM.gov and to renew the SAM.gov registration annually.
  
We are absolutely confident that all of you have assigned DUNS numbers; however, if you have to obtain a DUNS number for another entity, please do so by going to this site: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform
  
If you have yet to register in SAM.gov, please obtain your DUNS number and go to this site to register with SAM.gov:
 
The SAM.gov registration needs to be renewed on an annual basis. You will receive a reminder from SAM.gov that it's time to renew your registration; however, if you have not renewed, please do so at the following link: https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/?portal:componentId=57532328-784f-4065-bceb-801ac648ccba&interactionstate=JBPNS_rO0ABXc0ABBfanNmQnJpZGdlVmlld0lkAAAAAQATL2pzZi9uYXZpZ2F0aW9uLmpzcAAHX19FT0ZfXw**&portal:type=action#1
  
Having an active DUNS number and being currently registered with SAM.gov is critical for Section 8 Contracts in order to be paid HAP and in order for HUD's Fort Worth Accounting Office to renew expiring Contracts.
  
Thank you.
