SAM.GOV PRO TIP
System for Award Management (SAM)
SAM.gov is experiencing a high volume of issues due to the Entity Validation and the website is updating on a daily basis.
**Entity validation is the first step in getting your Unique Entity ID or registering in SAM.gov. Review time will depend on whether we can make a match from your original document submission or if we need to request additional documentation. Have questions? Our online resource page contains helpful information about this process.
The validation process is a critical piece of the federal awards ecosystem. It prevents improper payments, and procurement fraud, and helps ensure the integrity of government contracts and grants processes, representing trillions of dollars in taxpayer funds each year.
SAM.gov uses an entity validation service (EVS) to independently verify the existence and uniqueness of an entity.
Validation is required when you:
- register an entity
- renew your entity registration each year
- get a Unique Entity ID, and
- update or change your entity’s legal business name or physical address
Every entity must validate with the EVS provider’s databases and data sources, even if you had an active registration.
Arizona PTAC can assist you and your business with Entity validation & SAM registration.

PTAC Tip:
If you have an expiring registration, start your renewal at least 30-60 days prior to the expiration date. This will help prevent your registration from expiring should there be any issues with your renewal.
