After decades of granting Dun & Bradstreet a monopoly over the unique entity identification number used in the Contractor Registration (CCR) and System for Award Management (www.SAM.gov), the Federal Government is transitioning away from the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) to a new Government owned System for Award Management Managed Identifier, or SAMMI number. Stay tuned for further details on the changes coming to SAM.gov and contractor facing processes as a result.
Goodbye DUNS, Hello SAMMI!
