SAM streamlined multiple government databases systems into one centralized repository. This limited the need to register with multiple separate systems. However this also makes it crucial that your SAM registration is accurate as it is now the only system. This means that a mistake in this one application will effect your eligibility for a wide variety of government procurement opportunities.
SAM integrates all of the following systems:
- Central Contractor Registry (CCR)
- Federal Agency Registration (FedReg)
- Online Representations and Certifications Application
- Excluded Parties List System (EPLS)
- Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA)
- Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)
- Electronic Subcontractor Reporting System (eSRS)
- Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)
- Federal Business Opportunities (FBO)
- Federal Funding and Accountability Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FPRS)
- Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS)
- Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS)
