DUNS Number

On April 4, 2022, the federal government stopped using the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) and started using new Unique Entity Identifiers (UEI) as the primary means of identifying entities registered for federal awards government-wide in the System for Award Management (SAM). The UEI is a 12-character alpha-numeric value. Once issued, your entity’s SAM UEI will not change. All DUNS numbers were removed from SAM after April 4, 2022. Learn about this transition.

A DUNS (Data Universal Numbering System) number was a unique, nine-digit series of numerals affiliated with a company or entity's Live Business Identity (derived from the Dun & Bradstreet Data Cloud).
