  • New SAM Database Delayed

    GSA has pushed back the launch of its new System for Award Management to the end of July. The SAM.gov website will replace the Central Contractor Registration and related sites as a one-stop for contractors to enter information using a single password.

    SAM was scheduled to be up and running May 29. In delaying the startup, GSA said, “The additional sixty days will allow federal agencies to continue preparing their staff, give agencies and commercial system providers even more time to test their data transfer connections, and will ensure SAM contains the critical, documented capabilities users need from the system.”

    In the meantime, CCR, ORCA and related sites are still accepting new information.
