| Unique Entity Identifier and SAM Registration - HUD Previously, in order to register in the SAM, the federal government required that an entity that does business with the Federal government obtain a D-U-N-S number and register in the System for Award Management (SAM). These requirements applied to all entities that own HUD-insured and/or assisted properties, including those that have undergone Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) conversion and are receiving project-based rental assistance (PBRA). However, the federal government stopped requiring D-U-NS numbers and has begun using a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). The instructions in the document provided via this link describe what entities must do if they want to register in the SAM. |
