Important Submission Guidelines!

Alert: SAM.gov Entity Validation Update

GSA implemented a new process to validate an entity’s legal business name and physical address when requesting a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and for completing a SAM.gov entity registration. Due to a high volume of requests, entity validations are taking longer than expected to process. This validation process is now taking 7-10 business days, and in some cases longer. 

OJP strongly recommends starting your SAM.gov registration process as soon as possible to allow the time necessary to process entity validations well in advance of the Grants.gov due date posted in the solicitation. Read this FAQ for more information.

Applicants must submit the required documents in Grants.gov by the Grants.gov deadline to proceed with the final application submission in JustGrants. Applicants will not be able to finalize their application in JustGrants if the Grants.gov deadline is missed. Applicants are encouraged to submit all application materials at least 48-72 hours prior to application deadlines to allow time to correct any problems or errors.
