During the SAM Registration process is when a CAGE Code (Commercial and Government Entity Codes) is assigned to an entity, which remains the same for the life of that entity.

ALL Organizations, Businesses and Government Entities MUST have an updated DUNS Number in place at least 48 hours prior to submitting a SAM Registration for approval.

In order to submit a new or renewal of a SAM Registration to the DLA (Defense Logistics Agency), the legal entity must have an up-to-date DUNS Number in place.

This information must also match exactly what the IRS and Secretary of State has on file for that legal entity as well.

There are some time frames involved, special circumstances and a multitude of other items involved throughout the SAM Registration process.

Depending on the circumstances and choices made, it can take up to 30 days to receive a DUNS Number.

After you have an up-to-date DUNS Number in place, you may now begin the SAM Registration process itself.

In most cases we can obtain a New DUNS Number within 24 hours when needed, as well as ensuring the data for an entity is up-to-date with ALL agencies and organizations involved in the Registration and Certification process for fastest approval.

Anyone attempting to submit changes must be in a position to prove their identity based on public records and other information on file.

You can call Dun Bradstreet directly or attempt to make the changes via their online portal.

Again, not only must an entitys information be updated with Dun Bradstreet; it must also be updated with the IRS, State Agencies, DLA, GSA, DSBS, FEMA and others depending on certain criteria of your organization.

United States Business Registration is not a government agency.
