Alleged Fraudulent Activity in SAM: GSA has taken action to address alleged fraudulent activity in the System for Award Management (SAM). The measures GSA already put in place to help prevent improper activity in SAM include masking specific data elements in the entity registration even for authorized entity users; requiring "parent" approval of new registrations for their "child" entities; and requiring the formal appointment of the Entity Administrator by original, signed notarized letter. Additional enhanced controls have been deployed. These controls include implementing multi-factor authentication using login.gov and notifying Entity Administrators when there is a change in the entity's bank account information. SAM NOTARIZED LETTER PROCEDURES: An original, signed, and notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator for the entity associated with the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is now required within 30 days of activation for both NEW SAM.gov entity registrations and EXISTING entity updates or renewals. Failure to do so within 30 days of activation may result in the registration no longer being active. The notarized letters MUST BE POSTAL SERVICE MAILED (not emailed or faxed) to the "FEDERAL SERVICE DESK" and must contain the information outlined in the "instructions for domestic entities" or "instructions for international entities" located at https://www.gsa.gov/about-us/organization/federal-acquisition-service/office-of-systems-management/integrated-award-environment-iae/sam-update. Templates for appointing an Entity Administrator are included within the respective instructions. Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the Internet at http://www.sam.gov or by calling (866) 606-8220.
