Starting on April 4, 2022, the Government will transition away from using the Dun & Bradstreet data universal numbering system (DUNS) to the new Government issued Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) as a means of entity identification for federal awards.  Entities must be registered in SAM.gov to qualify for federal awards, which are reported to the public through USASpending.GOV 

If you have not already registered or your registration has expired.  Please register immediately.  

The General Services Administration (GSA) has provided tools that will assist you registering your entity and obtaining a DUNS/UEI.
