SAM.gov registration is required to bid on federal contracts, receive government payments, and access set-aside programs. We handle your complete SAM.gov entity registration — UEI validation, NAICS code selection, IRS verification monitoring, and CAGE code assignment — for a flat fee of $397.
SAM.gov (System for Award Management) is the official U.S. government database that every contractor must be registered in before they can receive a federal contract award or payment. Without an active SAM.gov registration, you cannot legally do business with the federal government — period.
SAM.gov replaced the old CCR (Central Contractor Registration) system and now serves as the single source of truth for contractor eligibility. It assigns your Unique Entity ID (UEI) — the identifier that replaced DUNS numbers in 2022 — and your CAGE code for DoD work.
The registration process involves cross-referencing your IRS records, selecting the right NAICS codes, assigning points of contact, and completing dozens of required fields. One mistake can delay your registration by weeks. That's why contractors hire BidWriteBuddy to do it right the first time.
Important: SAM.gov registrations expire every 12 months. An expired registration makes you ineligible to receive contract payments — even on existing awards. We handle renewals too.
You provide the information — we handle everything else. Here's what we need from you to get started.
We collect your business details — EIN, legal name, NAICS codes, and address — and verify everything matches your IRS records before we touch SAM.gov.
We validate or obtain your Unique Entity ID (UEI), which replaced DUNS numbers in 2022. This is the foundation of your SAM.gov profile.
We complete your full SAM.gov entity registration — all sections, all required fields, NAICS codes, PSC codes, and set-aside eligibility flags properly set.
SAM.gov cross-checks your EIN with the IRS. We monitor the process and resolve any holds or mismatches immediately so you don't lose days waiting.
Once your registration shows 'Active' in SAM.gov, we send you a full confirmation with your UEI, CAGE code, and a 30-day support window for any follow-up questions.
We submit same-day and monitor your registration daily. Most clients are active within 7–10 business days.
We've processed hundreds of registrations. We know every field, every IRS quirk, and every common mistake — and we avoid them all.
We don't just register you — we select the right NAICS codes to maximize your set-aside eligibility and contract opportunities.
After your registration goes active, we're available for 30 days to answer questions, update your profile, or assist with renewals.
