To create an account, you will need the organization’s Unique Entity ID (UEI) and basic contact information. If you do not have an active UEI, please register on SAM.gov. While not required to sign up for EDGE, an active CAGE code in SAM.gov is required when an applicant is selected for an award. See FAQs #51-61 for more information about EDGE. Once you have established an EDGE account, you can start your Recompete application here.
