All federal grant applicants and recipients must maintain an
active SAM.gov registration. There have been two recent, important
changes to the process.
As of June 11, 2018, to create or update your organization’s
registration in SAM.gov, you will no longer be required to provide SAM.gov with
an Entity Administrator notarized letter before your registration is
activated if your organization is a recipient of federal funds only through
grants. You will still be required to mail an original, signed copy of a
notarized letter to the Federal Service Desk. Failure to do so within 30
days of activation may result in the registration being revoked. The
requirement to submit the notarized authorization letter at time of new and
renewing registration remains in effect for organizations receiving both federal grants and contracts.
On or about June 29,
2018, GSA will be inaugurating a new login process for SAM.gov. Organizations
are strongly encouraged to confirm the email address associated with their
current SAM.gov user accounts prior to June 29. Failure to have an accurate
email address might cause a delay in updating or renewing an existing
registration after June 29.
Your attention to these changes is an essential part of remaining compliant with regulations and CNCS grant terms and conditions.
CNCS does not operate SAM.gov. The best sources for assistance can be found on the GSA’s webpage here where you can find notarized letter templates, the reasons for these changes, and additional support options such as how to contact the GSA Federal Service Desk for assistance using SAM.gov.
