<p class="MsoNormal">The following information was shared with the FDP from the General Services Administration (GSA) regarding the entity validation delays for SAM.gov registrations and Unique Entity ID (UEI) requests. We were asked to share the information
below with our members. They have consolidated and updated their <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.fsd.gov/gsafsd_sp?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0058422&sys_kb_id=f1e47a8f1babc5903565ed3ce54bcb28&spa=1__;!!PhOWcWs!31ny5CDW_URyRYXm2C8fuF47vNafo_1Rnydf8CKbjbJoKynNMKJZdhN6zdZPwPTZu4hnTNuH3giMFQLGuqvbThdQ13Q$">
FAQ</a>s, and wish to highlight the FAQs provide guidance on creating incidents and submitting the correct documentation for entity validation. Please read the announcement below carefully.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">----------------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As you’re aware, on April 4, 2022, the federal government changed entity validation service providers at the same time it stopped using the DUNS Number and began using the Unique Entity ID in SAM.gov to uniquely identify entities. All entities,
even those already registered in SAM.gov, must validate their entity information through the new service provider. Data rights limitations require SAM.gov to collect the data from the user directly, not use previously validated data. This means entities may
have to provide supporting documentation to update the new service provider's data. This is an expected part of a complex data transition.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to reach out again to assure you that we are continuing to improve the entity validation process for entities registering in SAM.gov and those only getting Unique Entity IDs. We are closely monitoring the situation and it is our
top priority to address validation requests. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we are working on our end, it is important that we receive actionable documentation from your members.<o:p></o:p></p>
