About This Site

What is SAM.gov?

The System for Award Management (SAM.gov) is an official website of the U.S. Government. Eventually, SAM.gov will offer a single login to navigate the federal award lifecycle. Today, you can use this site to:

  • Register to do business with the U.S. Government
  • Update, renew, or check the status of your entity registration
  • Get a Unique Entity ID
  • Search for entity registration and exclusion records
  • Search for assistance listings (formerly CFDA.gov), wage determinations (formerly WDOL.gov), and contract opportunities (formerly FBO.gov)
  • Run contract data reports (formerly part of FPDS.gov).
  • View and submit BioPreferred and Service Contract Reports
  • Access publicly available data via data extracts and system accounts
  • Search for contract award data
  • Submit subaward reporting
  • Report subcontracting plans

The following legacy systems have been decommissioned and their functionalities successfully transitioned to SAM.gov:

  • Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (legacy FAPIIS.gov)
  • Federal Business Opportunities (legacy FBO.gov)
  • Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (legacy CFDA.gov)
  • Wage Determination Online (legacy WDOL.gov)
