Unique Entity Identifier Update Transition from DUNS to SAM
All VCA applicants need to get their SAM number by April 2022.
In April 2022, the federal government will transition from the use of the DUNS Number to a new SAM.gov Unique Entity ID (UEI) as the primary means of entity identification, which is required to apply for and receive federal awards.
What to Know: If you have a current or inactive registration in SAM.gov, your UEI has already been assigned and can be viewed on SAM.gov. New applicants are able to register for a UEI number directly through SAM.gov, with or without a full SAM registration.
Important Information for NEA Subgrantors: State arts agencies, regional arts organizations, and local arts agencies which are authorized to subgrant funds through an NEA grant need to be aware of requirements related to this change for subgrantees. More information is available for NEA subgrantors in this archived post from the October Partnership newsletter.
Recorded UEI Presentation: A GSA webinar held on November 3rd covered both how to get a UEI through SAM without requiring a full SAM registration, and how to update your existing DUNS number to a SAM-provided UEI. Download the presentation slide deck or view a full recording of the program.
