Important Notice

There are numerous for-profit companies that may contact you to offer you services on doing business with government agencies.

Some of these companies use
misleading , marketing and
approaches that make them appear to be
official government agencies. Their
messaging often contains language such as “
if you don’t act and reply back you may miss out on government opportunities
”
. In some cases, they try to lead you to think that a registration is expiring or incomplete, which may impact your ability to do business with government.

Their objective is to get you to contact them so they can promote their services to you for a cost.

These services are provided by at no cost by PTACs around the country at no cost to you. You can locate you local PTAC at the link below.

Handouts and Slides

SAM Help desk email is  now “.com”

Please note:  SAM Federal Service Desk (FSD) emails are now coming from:

gsafsd@midatl.service-now.com

Email communications from this address ARE legitimate—they are not scams or phishing attempts.  Please let your clients know.

This is the ONLY “.com” email address that legitimately comes from GSA/SAM.

Any request that involves a fee should raise immediate red flags.  They should not respond, but rather contact you immediately.APTAC has raised concerns with GSA that this new, “.com” address is very confusing to
business owners, who already struggle to differentiate between legitimate, important notices and a deluge of marketing appeals designed to look like agency alerts.

The DUNS number is going to change...

DUNS is a unique ID for organizations doing business with the government—will be phased out in favor of a new identifier with a new name and vendor. 

With the introduction of a new vendor, GSA is taking the opportunity to reengineer the system. The DUNS number will be phased out over the coming months and replaced by the System for Award Management Managed Identifier, or SAMMI, number.
