WHAT IS SAM.GOV?*The System for Award Management (SAM) is combining federal procurement systems and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance into one new system. This consolidation is being done in phases. The first phase of SAM which began late July 2012 included the functionality from the following systems:

• Central Contractor Registry (CCR)

• Federal Agency Registration (Fedreg)

• Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA)

• Excluded Parties List System (EPLS)

WHAT LEGACY SYSTEMS ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU?

Central Contractor Registry (CCR) CAGE Code - Commercial And Government Entity (CAGE) Code is a

five-character ID number used extensively within the federal government, assigned by the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)

Online Representations and Certifications (ORCA)

TYPES OF SAM.GOV ACCOUNTS

An Individual account:

• Contains your own personal information.

• May stay with you even when your role in your organization or the permissions you need to do your job change.

Just because you have an account does not mean you have the ability to create or edit records, to do those activities you must have roles.  With an account, Federal Government employees can also request access to view sensitive data through search or extracts.

A System account:

• Represents a particular information technology (IT) system.

• Is primarily for systems which need to send data to SAM (such as a Federal Government contract writing system) or wish to automate the pull of the data through extracts or web services.

• Is useful if multiple users in your organization need to access the same extract or web service.
