DUNS Number replacement with Unique Entity Identifier

The Federal government will transition away from the use of the DUNS number and towards the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Effective April 4, 2022, UEI’s will be used in place of the DUNS number. Currently, all entities receiving Federal funds must have a DUNS number. Entities with active registration in SAM.gov have automatically been assigned a UEI, it can be viewed in SAM.gov.

The United States Chief Financial Officers Council posted a webinar given by the U.S. General Services Administration regarding the change. The webinar and slides can be viewed here:
