Staying Compliant After SAM.gov Registration: What Every Contractor Needs to Know

 


Your SAM.gov registration is complete — but that’s only the beginning. To stay in good standing with the federal government, your business must maintain ongoing compliance.

Here’s what that looks like:

Renew Your Registration Every Year
Your SAM profile expires annually. If you don’t renew in time, your status will change to “inactive,” and you’ll be ineligible for new federal contracts.

Update Your Reps and Certs
SAM’s Reps and Certs section contains legal attestations about your business. If anything changes — such as ownership, size classification, or SBA status — you must update this section to reflect it accurately.

Monitor and Maintain Entity Info
Be sure your legal name, EIN, mailing address, and banking info are correct and match your documentation. Mistakes can delay payments or trigger re-validation requests.

Assign and Maintain Your Entity Administrator
The Entity Admin has control over your SAM profile. If they leave or change roles, update your profile immediately to avoid access issues.

Why It Matters
Non-compliance can result in lost opportunities, delayed payments, and audit risks. Federal agencies rely on your SAM profile to assess your eligibility.

At Federal Processing Registry, we help our clients avoid these risks with proactive monitoring, support, and filing services.
