Companies that want to do business with the U.S. government must register with SAM. SAM is an official U.S. government website.
There is no cost to use SAM.

Businesses can use SAM for the following functions: 

• Register with the U.S. government
• Update or renew of entity registrations
• Check status of an entity registration 
• Search for entity registration and exclusion records

SAM's Help section can answer common questions on using the site.  

If assistance is needed with SAM registration, contact the Federal Service Desk at 1-888-606-8220. Further help on registration can be acquired by using a local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC). This service is entirely free and is of great use.
