Beginning April 4, 2022, the Federal Government transitioned from the DUNS number issued by Dun and Bradstreet to the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). At that point, entities doing business with the Federal Government must use the UEI number assigned in SAM.gov and will no longer be able to use a third-party website to obtain their identifier number.

Entities are able to manage organizational information, such as legal business name and physical address associated with a UEI number, directly from SAM.gov.

For information on the transition to UEI Number, access SAM.gov. Look for the Register Your Entity or Get a Unique Entity ID section on the page then click Learn More to display detailed information about the DUNS to Unique Entity ID (UEI) transition.

Detailed questions about the conversion from DUNS number to UEI number should be directed to the GSA by creating an incident ticket with the Federal Service Desk online at fsd.gov or by calling (866) 606-8220. Information about the UEI transition can be found by accessing GSA.gov and searching on ‘Unique Entity Identifier Update’.

If you have identified a difference between the number listed in SAM.gov for the recipient (participating in one or more Treasury programs) with the UEI Number that is specific to Treasury or experienced another issue with the UEI Number on the Treasury Portal, please send an email to LATCF@treasury.gov. Please note that the GSA manages the issuance of UEI Numbers and SAM.gov registration.

While on the DocuSign page and once all required fields have been completed, the “Submit” button will appear. If the “Submit” button does not appear, it is due to one or more incomplete required fields. Use the Auto Navigation feature (yellow tab) to help you navigate. When the “Submit” button becomes active, you can complete the signing process.

The first time you click a “Sign” or “Initial” field, you are asked to adopt a signature and initials. First, verify that your name and initials are correct. If not, you can change them as needed. If you would like to change your name or initials, type the changes in the “Full Name” and “Initials” fields. Select if you want to select a preformatted signature style or if you will draw your signature.

All Entities can obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number on the Sam.gov website and register for an account if needed: 

• New SAM.gov registrants will be assigned a UEI number as part of their SAM registration.
• All existing Entities with an existing and active registration with SAM.gov will be assigned a UEI number that can be used for reporting activities.

For more information, please visit the SAM.gov website.

No action is required if you have an existing and active registration in SAM.gov. If you are registered in SAM.gov, your UEI number has already been assigned and is viewable in your SAM.gov account. Your UEI number is located below the DUNS number on your Entity Registration Record.

Please ensure your legacy DUNS number is accessible for historical reference where needed, as the DUNS number will no longer be visible to Users in SAM.gov after April 4, 2022. Similarly, Treasury will automatically populate your existing account records with the GSA-issued UEI number in the Treasury.gov Submission and Compliance portal, as applicable.

All Recipients and Subrecipients can obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number on the SAM.gov website and register for an account if needed:

• New SAM.gov registrants will be assigned a UEI number as part of their SAM registration.
• All Entities with an existing and active registration with SAM.gov will be assigned a UEI number that can be used for reporting activities.

For more information, please access the SAM.gov website then click “Learn More” in the Register Your Entity or Get a Unique Entity ID section on the page.
