Start a New SAM Registration

How to Start a New SAM Registration

To work with the federal government for contracts, grants, or nonprofit funding, you must complete your registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). Businesses can apply for contracting opportunities, while nonprofits can register for grant eligibility.

Once your registration is completed, it remains active for one year. To avoid interruptions, you must renew it annually. It’s recommended to begin the renewal process at least 90 days before your expiration date.

    I worked with Jeremiah and he was awesome to deal with! His response to any and all questions or concerns was immediate and always on point! We had a need to go back and forth on a few details and Jeremiah took the time to get it right and ensure we were happy with the result! Don't hesitate these folks will help you if they can!
