Information about the pending migration from CCR.gov to SAM.gov

What is SAM?
The System for Award Management (SAM) is combining eight federal procurement systems and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance into one new system. Beginning July 30, 2012, the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system will be migrated into SAM.

What is the timeline for the CCR transition to SAM?

CCR will transition to SAM at the end of July. CCR must stop accepting new data in order to successfully migrate the existing data into SAM. CCR’s last business day is Tuesday, July 24, 2012. It will no longer accept new registrations or updates to current registrations after that time. The CCR Search capability will remain active through the transition to allow you to search for an entity’s current registration status. SAM will be online for use Monday morning, July 30, 2012.

What do I need to do?

·         Already registered with CCR: You don't need to do anything now.
·         My CCR registration is incomplete:  Whatever you’ve entered by 11:59pm on Tuesday, July 24, 2012, will be moved to SAM. You will be able to complete your registration in SAM when the system is live.
·         I am not yet registered with CCR: You can either register with CCR before 11:59pm on Tuesday, July 24, 2012 and then create your new SAM account and migrate your CCR information into it when SAM goes live; or you can wait until SAM goes live to create your account there.

When will CCR stop accepting new registrations or updates to current registrations?

CCR will stop accepting data at 11:59 pm on Tuesday, July 24, 2012. No new registrations can be submitted after that time. No updates to existing registrations can be submitted after that time. Any registrations in process will be on hold until SAM goes live the morning of July 30, 2012. If you are in the middle of a registration, the data you have submitted will be migrated to SAM.

What if my registration expires close to the CCR to SAM transition date?

If your record was scheduled to expire between July 16, 2012 and October 15, 2012, CCR/SAM is extending your expiration date by 90 days. You will receive an e-mail notification from CCR when your expiration date is extended. You will then receive standard e-mail reminders to update your record based on this new expiration date. Those future e-mail notifications will come from SAM.
