Our Unique Entity ID is SAM123456789, and our registration is active through December 2024 as verified in the System for Award Management.
Confirm that the bidding entity is registered in SAM.gov and provide the CAGE code.
The bidding entity is fully registered in SAM.gov under UEID SAM123456789 with CAGE code 8X7Y6Z.

Practical guide
The Role of the SAM.gov Number in Federal Bidding
A SAM.gov number, now primarily the Unique Entity ID (UEID), is a mandatory identifier for any business seeking to do business with the U.S. government. In a formal proposal, this number must be accurately placed in the administrative or 'Company Information' section, often alongside the CAGE code and NAICS codes. Failure to provide a valid, active registration number can lead to a bid being marked non-responsive, regardless of the technical merit of the proposal.
BidPacto simplifies the process of integrating these critical identifiers into your response. Instead of manually searching through old Word docs for the correct UEID or CAGE code, you can upload your registration profile as a source. BidPacto then generates the administrative answers, flags missing registration details, and allows proposal managers to review the accuracy of the entity information before the final PDF or Word draft is exported.
