Stay updated about the transition from DUNS to SAM's Unique Entity ID (UEI) in the U.S federal government system, effective from April 4, 2022.
The transition from Dun & Bradstreet's Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) to the SAM-issued Unique Entity ID (UEI) marks a substantial shift in how entities are uniquely identified within the U.S. federal government system. This significant transition, set to be finalized by April 4, 2022, carries implications for all entities engaged in business activities with the federal government. Let's dive deeper into the specifics of this change:
The decision to switch to a SAM-issued UEI lifts the dependency on a third-party (Dun & Bradstreet) for entity identification. This change forms part of an effort to streamline the registration process, empowering entities to perform all necessary steps within the SAM system without the need to visit other websites. It also offers the government added flexibility in managing the UEI system going forward.
