SAM.gov — System for Award Management (SAM.gov)
Parent: U.S. General Services Administration. Domains in this note: sam.gov, acquisition.gov, gsa.gov.
What they regulate
SAM.gov (GSA) is the federal System for Award Management — entity registration, exclusions, and award data for U.S. government contracting. It does not license freight, insurance, securities, or loan brokers. Government-contracting introductions still need the correct commercial and state paths. Indexed ≠ endorsed.
Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.
How to verify
- SAM.gov home — Federal award management / entity registration — not a state broker licence register.
- Entity registration / search — Prefer live sam.gov entity and exclusion tools over mirrors.
