SAM.GOV Renewals Soon Will Require Notarized Letter

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.

CNCS recently learned that beginning April 27, 2018, all organizations registered in SAM.gov are required to submit an original, signed notarized letter designating their Entity Administrator at the time of renewal.  Notice of this change applying to new and lapsed registrations requiring a notarized letter was previously distributed.   

The SAM.gov system is now sending 30- and 60-day renewal notices with the new requirements.  CNCS encourages all of its grantees to keep this new requirement in mind as they approach their renewal cycle to ensure they allow enough time for renewal processing.   Free assistance is available from the Federal Service Desk at www.fsd.gov, or by telephone at 866-606-8220 (toll free). 

The Government Services Administration continues to explore alternate solutions.  As such, CNCS will continue to advise through the GovDelivery system as updates become known.
