The change was implemented on April 4th, as enforced by the <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>U.S General Services Administration (GSA). Following this move, the GSA began using a new identifier called a Unique Entity Identifier, or commonly referred to as a UEI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government has signed a five-year, $41.7 million contract&nbsp;with the firm Ernest and Young to run the new UEI initiative. This ends a 40-year relationship between the federal government and the Dun &amp; Bradstreet firm, a relationship that had cost hundreds of millions of dollars for use of the proprietary software involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Some Background<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The new way of digitally certifying <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grants-for-small-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">businesses<\/a> will streamline the current process and lower overall costs. Obtaining a DUNS number may have been free for organizations, but the cost for the federal government had been steadily increasing for some time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2012, the federal government was paying $19 million a year for use of the proprietary software. The new software came with a significant discount, costing about $8 million per year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How It Works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entities registering with SAM.gov will receive a Unique Entity ID as part of their registration process. Entity uniqueness will also continue to be authenticated through a verification process. All subcontracting with the federal government will require this UEI. If your entity is registered with SAM.gov, you already have this designation, even if your status is inactive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Finding Your UEI<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To find your UEI, follow these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Login to your SAM.gov account (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/want-to-apply-for-government-grants-you-need-to-register-with-sam-first\/\">learn how to sign up here<\/a>).<\/li><li>On your main workspace page, locate and click the numbered bubble above ACTIVE in the entity management widget. <\/li><li>Your record should then appear, and you will be able to view your UEI.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The federal government has fully phased out the use of the DUNs number as an identifier and now will only be utilizing this new system and process. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year, the federal government announced the transition from using DUNS numbers as a way of identifying businesses.
