CCR Applicant Registration/Update Delays

On February 19, 2011, a hardware and software upgrade was implemented on the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database causing severe slowness and performance issues. The cause of these issues has been resolved and the system is performing normally. However, there remains a back log at CCR and potential delay in processing both new CCR registrations and updates to existing CCR registrations. This may effect your ability to submit grant applications. Applicants experiencing delays with CCR registration are asked to contact the offering agency for guidance.

You can access further CCR status information at their website: http://www.ccr.gov
