The System for Award Management (SAM) website at https://www.sam.gov provides useful documents and online training to assist with SAM navigation and data entry. User guides and demonstration videos can be found on the SAM homepage, the SAM Help section located at the top of the website homepage, and the Federal Service Desk (FSD) website at https://www.fsd.gov.

(a) Use SAM as the primary source of contractor information for contract award and administration, to include supporting contract writing, management, and administration systems. Do not request or use contractor information from other sources, unless another source is specifically authorized. At a minimum, supporting systems must use SAM as the authoritative source for the following data elements, as applicable by system, when SAM is required in accordance with FAR 4.304:

(1) Unique entity identifier (UEI).

(2) Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code.

(3) Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).

(4) Legal business name.

(5) Doing business as (DBA) name.

(6) Physical address.

(7) Mailing address.

(8)(i)Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) information (includes American Banking Association (ABA) routing number, account number, and account Type) and any additional EFT indicators.

(ii) Ensure that SAM nondisclosure requirements regarding TIN and EFT information are followed.
