Register your business

If you intend to sell products, make sure they are from designated compliant countries in accordance with the Trade Agreements Act clause 52.225-5 Trade Agreements.

Complete your SAM.gov and eOffer registrations

Before you can compete for contracts with the government, you need to register your business and obtain a unique entity identifier, or UEI, on SAM.gov. You can check out the SAM entity registration checklist for detailed instructions.

Register for eOffer, which you’ll use to submit your offer and accept modifications. You’ll get a FAS ID as part of the registration process. To get a FAS ID, you need to make sure you are listed in SAM as a government business POC, electronic business POC, past performance POC, or alternates of them. Use the FAS ID help guide if you need to.

Collect required information

Have the following information ready to complete your registration:

• Taxpayer Identification Number
• Any already assigned Contractor and Government Entity code(s) or NATO Commercial and Government Entity code(s)
• Financial and banking information to set up electronic funds transfer
• The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code(s) that best depict your primary business activity(s)

Allow up to 10 business days after you submit your registration for it to become active.

At any time after submitting your registration, you can sign in and check the status of your business on SAM.gov.
