THIS IS A FREE SERVICE BY A NON PROFIT PAID FOR BY THE US GOVERNMENT SAM UPDATE: GSA has taken action to address alleged fraudulent activity in the System for Award Management (SAM). The measures GSA already has 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. NOTARIZED LETTER PROCESS CHANGES How has the notarized letter review process changed? All non-Federal entities who create or update their registration in SAM.gov will no longer need to have an approved Entity Administrator notarized letter on file before their registration is activated. This applies to you if your SAM.gov Purpose of Registration is either Federal Assistance or All Awards. Check SAM.gov to find your Purpose of Registration. All non-Federal entities still must mail the original, signed copy of the notarized letter to the Federal Service Desk. Where can I find the notarized letter templates? Read the instructions for domestic entities or instructions for international entities posted at the Federal Service Desk. Where do I send the notarized letter? You must mail the original, notarized letter to: FEDERAL SERVICE DESK ATTN: SAM.GOV REGISTRATION PROCESSING 460 INDUSTRIAL BLVD LONDON, KY 40741-7285 Please use the below address if you decide to mail in your proposal: Dale Coleman ATTN: CECT-NWK-C 647 Federal Building 601 E 12th Street, Room 647 Kansas City, Missouri 64106 dale.e.coleman@usace.army.mil The Government reserves the right to cancel this combined synopsis/solicitation.
