Introduction: To become a government contractor, getting registered with SAM can be sound very confusing, but here will discuss about some SAM registration guide tips, which may make the work easier. So, before we get in to the detail discussion, let’s a take an idea of what is SAM registration? Here it is – 

The term SAM means - the System for Award Management – a centralized database for all government contractors. Before, SAM got introduced, there were several other databases, those were the Online Representations and Certification Application (ORCA) and the Central Contractor Registration (CCR). After launching SAM, it has been accepted by the government. Though there are still some references found like ORCA and CCR, yet, these are no longer in use, rather every single data or record is stored in SAM only. Therefore, even if you have been advised to get registered with ORCA/CCR, just remember these are no longer in use. At any cost, if you want to get registered with the Government, it is better to go with SAM. Here the SAM registration guide discussed –
