Collect identifiers

Start with legal name, UEI, and CAGE when available. GovVendorFinder profiles surface these fields when present in public source data.

Confirm on SAM.gov

Search the entity on SAM.gov and confirm registration status, expiration, and representations. Directory pages can be delayed or incomplete relative to official systems.

FAQ

Does an active SAM status on GovVendorFinder guarantee eligibility? No. Treat directory SAM status as informational. Official SAM.gov records control eligibility.
