DUNS-to-UEI Transition

The Integrated Award Environment (IAE) will no longer use the Dun & Bradstreet DUNS Number effective April 4, 2022, for SAM.gov and other IAE systems.

Effective April 4, 2022, IAE will use the Unique Entity ID (UEI). For more information about the transition from the DUNS Number, click here.

UEI insight

The DUNS Number will no longer be used to identify entities doing business with the federal government. It is being replaced by the Unique Entity ID (SAM).
The Unique Entity ID (SAM) is a 12-character alphanumeric value managed, granted, and owned by the government.
After April 4, 2022, entities will go to SAM.gov to obtain their Unique Entity ID (SAM).
The Unique Entity ID (SAM) will be the identifier of the record.
The plus4 will be renamed to Entity EFT Indicator

UEI Transition Details: As GSA’s IAE prepares SAM.gov, FPDS.gov, eSRS.gov, FSRS.gov, FAPIIS.gov, and CPARS.gov to transition for the UEI, please be aware of the following important dates:

March 29 is the last day to obtain a new DUNS Number from Dun & Bradstreet for registering an entity or getting a Unique Entity ID (SAM) before the transition.
Before 8:00 PM (ET) on April 1 is the last day a DUNS Number can be used to get a Unique Entity ID (SAM) or register an entity in SAM.gov.
SAM.gov will be down for maintenance to complete the transition beginning on April 1 at 8:00 PM (ET) until no later than 9:00 AM (ET) on April 4.
Starting Monday, April 4, 2022, the new Unique Entity ID from SAM.gov will be the official, government-wide identifier used for federal awards.
If you are using a DUNS Number as a filter or attribute on an ad hoc contract data report in the SAM.gov Data Bank, you need to replace the DUNS field with a Unique Entity ID (SAM) field.
No later than 9:00 AM on April 4, SAM.gov will be back online. DUNS Numbers will no longer be displayed in IAE systems or accepted for entity registration.
