Unique Entity Identifier from SAM

[Beth]

Can any direct me in how to get our Unique Entity Identifier from SAM? Obviously we are registered and searchable under our DUNS. But I don't know where to find the UEI.

I do not believe they are available yet.  When you get one your DUNS number will no longer be shown but the UEI will be.....

Transition Phase: (July 2019–Transition Completion)

• The DUNS number remains the official identifier for doing business with the U.S. Government.
• Entities continue to register in SAM.gov using the DUNS number assigned by D&B.
• Entity uniqueness continues to be validated by D&B as part of the DUNS number assignment process.
• GSA published updated technical specifications, which include the new SAM-generated UEI, for interfacing systems in December 2019.
• GSA develops the tools needed to generate UEIs.
• GSA develops an interface to new entity validation service provider to determine entity uniqueness.
• GSA supports robust testing of new interfaces with agency systems.
• GSA communicates upcoming changes to stakeholders, sharing more detail as available

Transition Complete

• The SAM-generated UEI becomes the official identifier for doing business with the U.S. Government.
• Entities request new UEIs through SAM.gov before starting their entity registration.
• Entity uniqueness is determined by the new entity validation service provider.

Transition for Existing Entities

• Your registration will automatically be assigned a new UEI which will be displayed in SAM.gov.
• The purpose of registration, core data, assertions, representations & certifications, points of contacts, etc. in SAM.gov will not change and no one will be required to re-enter this data.
