Additional Notes
All responsible sources must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database (www.sam.gov). Contractors needing to access Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) must be certified through Defense Logistics Information Services (DLIS) (https://public.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/jcp/search.aspx). Entities registering or updating SAM must submit a notarized letter identifying the authorized Entity Administrator; this process can take several days, so proactive maintenance of SAM registration is advised to ensure "Active" status.
