SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Federal Acquisition Regulation 

(FAR) Subpart 4.11 prescribes policies 

and procedures for requiring contractor 

registration in the System for Award 

Management (SAM) database to: (1) 

Increase visibility of vendor sources 

(including their geographical locations) 

for specific supplies and services; and 

(2) establish a common source of vendor 

data for the Government. 

In the past, the GSA Office of 

Inspector General (OIG) conducted an 

investigation into fraudulent activities 

discovered within SAM. Certain bad 

actors have, through electronic means, 

used public information to impersonate 

legitimate entities and established new 

entity registrations for those entities in 

SAM. By establishing fraudulent entity 

registrations, bad actors submitted bids 

in certain U.S. Government 

procurement systems or shipped 

deficient or counterfeit goods to the U.S. 

Government. 

GSA established a new Information 

Collection Request (ICR) to collect 

additional information to support 

increased validation of entities 

registered and registering in the System 

for Award Management (SAM). This 

additional information is contained in a 

notarized letter in which an officer or 

other signatory authority of the entity 

formally appoints the Entity 

Administrator for the entity registering 

or recertifying in SAM. The original, 

signed letter is mailed to the Federal 

Service Desk for SAM prior to the 

registration’s activation or reregistration. 

The new ICR expires September 30, 

2018, without authority for an 

extension. GSA is actively pursuing 

technical alternatives to the collection 

of this information for all non-federal 

entities. GSA seeks to refine the 

requirement and adopt a risk-based 

approach. This notice for an extension 

of the ICR lays the groundwork for the 

authority to continue collection of the 

information provided GSA is still 

pursuing the technical alternative 

beyond the ICR expiration date. In the 

interim, the collection of the notarized 

letter information is essential to GSA’s 

acquisition mission to meet the needs of 

all federal agencies, as well as the needs 

of the grant community. A key element 

of GSA’s mission is to provide efficient 

and effective acquisition solutions 

across the Federal Government. SAM is 

essential to the accomplishment of that 

mission. In addition to federal contracts, 

federal assistance programs also rely 

upon the integrity and security of the 

information in SAM. Without 

assurances that the information in SAM 

is protected and, is at minimal risk of 

compromise, GSA would risk losing the 

confidence of the federal acquisition 

and assistance communities which is 

serves. As a result, some entities may 

prefer not to do business with the 

Federal Government. 

B. Discussion and Analysis 

A 60-day notice was published in the 

Federal Register at 83 FR 24312 on May 

25, 2018. Two comments were received. 

Comments: One respondent stated 

that it is already time-consuming and 

frustrating for our grantees to use the 

SAM registration process. If the process 

was simple, it would not be a problem; 

however, having to submit notarized 

documents in addition to an already 

difficult process affects our ability to 

nimbly respond to programmatic 

initiatives through small grants to 

organizations or individuals who we 

know and want to partner with to 

achieve our goals. The other respondent 

stated that the new procedure creates 

another challenge for our grantees in 

that mailing the notarized document 

requires extra effort, but also finding a
