SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The System for Award Management (SAM) is a computer system accessed by the Internet managed by the
U.S. Government. Entities must have an active registration in SAM to do business with the U.S.
Government. An “entity” is the company, business, or organization registering in SAM; such as the City of
McCall. Each entity is represented by a nine-digit unique entity identifies, the Data Universal Numbering
System (DUNS®) Number as issued by Dun & Bradstreet.
Only individuals who are authorized to represent the City may register in SAM. Accessing or using SAM, or
information contained therein, for any unauthorized or illegal purposes, may have civil and criminal penalties, and
may negatively impact the status of the SAM registration maintained for the City.
The City has been registered with the Federal Government since 2003 on the Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
and converted to SAM in 2012. Registration on SAM entitles the City to receive grant awards, loans, and assistance
from the federal government. Without a current registration the City would be ineligible for federal funding.
The requirement of a notarized letter designating an authorized ‘Entity Administrator is new this year. The City’s
SAM registration temporarily renewed for 30 days pending receipt of our notarized letter.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Appoint the City Treasurer as the City’s SAM Administrator and authorize the Mayor to sign all
necessary documents.
