critical factors to be considered by the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

The Central Contractor Registration 

(CCR) is the primary vendor database for 

the U.S. Federal Government. CCR 

collects, validates, stores, and 

disseminates data in support of agency 

acquisition missions. 

Both current and potential Federal 

Government vendors are required to 

register in CCR in order to be awarded 

contracts by the Federal Government. 

Vendors are required to complete a onetime registration to provide basic 

information relevant to procurement 

and financial transactions. Vendors 

must update or renew their registration 

at least once per year to maintain an 

active status. 

CCR validates the vendor information 

and electronically shares the secure and 

encrypted data with Federal agency 

finance offices to facilitate paperless 

payments through electronic funds 

transfer (EFT). Additionally, CCR shares 

the data with Federal Government 

procurement and electronic business 

systems.
