The benefits of
SAM will include streamlined and integrated processes, elimination of data
redundancies, and will reduced Government costs while providing improved
Contractor capability.
For Vendors Who are
Register in CCR.
With SAM, one
user ID and password Login will provide access to all the capabilities
associated with:
Registering to do business with the government.
Representing or self-certifying as a small business.
Viewing business opportunities.
Process!
SAM integrates registration
with representations and certifications to create a simplified,
streamlined process. It divides data entry into three logical groupings:
Core data (ex:
Name and address, org type, financial information)
Assertions (ex: NAICS, size metrics) and conditional or
optional information (proceedings, disaster)
Reps and Certs (FAR questionnaire)
Reporting Location!
SAM keeps all data in
one place, so you only have to enter it one time.
For Owners of
Interfacing Systems
Data Location and /
or New Interfaces!
Capabilities will
remain the same, but the data will be consolidated into one
location, eliminating data redundancies and potential data
conflicts. The configuration of your current data feed will
change to align with the consolidated data model. The following
presentations provides an overview of the
planned changes.

these "reps and certs" annually.

community can access timely and pertinent contractor past
performance information via this web-enabled, government wide
application.
EPLS (Excluded Parties
List System)

receiving federal contracts and certain subcontracts are identified
on this web-based system. Also identified are individuals excluded
from certain types of federal financial and non-financial
assistance, including benefits.
