Let’s get started on your journey to registering as a joint venture or partnership on SAM!

 

Determine Your Eligibility

 

To register as a joint venture or partnership on SAM, you need to assess your eligibility by meeting the necessary requirements.

The first step is to ensure that your business structure qualifies for joint venture or partnership status. SAM recognizes two types of partnerships: general partnerships and limited liability partnerships (LLPs). General partnerships consist of two or more individuals who share the profits, losses, and liabilities of the business. LLPs, on the other hand, provide limited liability protection to partners.

Next, you must verify that all partners meet the eligibility criteria set by SAM, which includes being registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and having a DUNS number. Additionally, each partner must have a valid Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN).

 

Gather Required Documents and Information

 

Start by gathering all the necessary documents and information.

Before you begin the registration process as a joint venture or partnership on SAM, it’s important to ensure that you have all the required documentation ready.

This includes the legal name, address, and contact information of your joint venture or partnership, as well as the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN) associated with your organization.

Additionally, you’ll need to provide a UEI number, which can be obtained from SAM.

It’s also crucial to have any relevant certifications or licenses on hand, as well as any supporting documentation that may be required for your specific situation.

 

Create a SAM Account

 

To create a SAM account for your joint venture or partnership, you’ll need to provide the necessary information and complete the registration process.

Start by visiting the System for Award Management (SAM) website and clicking on the ‘Create an Account’ button.

You’ll be asked to select the type of account you want to create, so choose ‘Business Partner.’

Next, provide your legal business name, address, and contact information. Make sure to enter the correct DUNS number for your joint venture or partnership.

You’ll also need to provide your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN).

Once you have entered all the required information, review and submit your registration.

After completing these steps, you’ll have successfully created your SAM account for your joint venture or partnership.

 

Complete the Entity Registration Process

 

How can you efficiently complete the entity registration process on SAM?

Once you have created your SAM account, you need to complete the entity registration process. This involves providing detailed information about your joint venture or partnership.

To begin, log in to your SAM account and select the ‘Entity Registrations‘ option. Then, click on the ‘Register New Entity’ button and choose the appropriate registration type.

Fill in all the required fields, such as the legal business name, address, and contact information. Make sure to accurately enter your UEI number and CAGE code if applicable.

Additionally, you may need to provide supporting documentation, such as your partnership agreement.

Review your registration for accuracy and completeness before submitting it for review. Once approved, your joint venture or partnership will be officially registered on SAM.

 

Maintain and Update Your SAM Registration

 

To effectively manage your SAM registration, regularly update and maintain your information. It’s essential to keep your registration current to ensure accurate and up-to-date information is available to government agencies and potential partners.

Log in to your SAM account frequently to review and update your registration details. Make sure to update any changes in your business address, contact information, or key personnel.

Additionally, it’s crucial to review and update your NAICS codes, certifications, and any other relevant information to reflect the current state of your business.

By keeping your SAM registration updated, you maximize your visibility and increase your chances of being considered for government contracts.

 

To Review

 

To register your Joint Venture (JV) in the System for Award Management (SAM) you need to follow specific steps and ensure that you have all the necessary information.

Here’s a detailed guide to help you with the process:

 

Required Information for SAM Registration

 

1. Joint Venture Agreement: Ensure that your JV agreement, submitted with the proposal, includes all the required details.
2. Entity Name: Use the specified name in the JV agreement, e.g., “ACME1-ACME2 JV, A Joint Venture”.
3. Unique Entity Identifiers (UEIs): You will need the UEIs, CAGE codes, and TINs for both companies involved in the JV.
4. Office Address: Use the JV office address as specified, which in this case is the ACME1 office address.

Steps to Register Your JV in SAM

1. Log into SAM.gov: If you already have an account, log in using your credentials. If not, create a new account.
2. Register a New Entity: Navigate to “Entity Registrations” and select “Register New Entity”. This will initiate the process for your JV.

Important Considerations

• Timing: Joint ventures must be registered and active in SAM before the award date. It’s recommended to begin the registration process immediately to avoid any delays​ (SmallGovCon)​​ (Forum Insights)​.
• Annual Updates: Ensure your registration and annual Representations and Certifications (Reps & Certs) are current and accurate. Update these as needed to maintain an active status​ (Jackson Kelly PLLC)​.

 

By following these steps and ensuring all required information is accurate and submitted promptly, your JV should be well-positioned for the upcoming contract award.

 

In conclusion, now that you have completed the entity registration process on SAM, make sure to regularly maintain and update your SAM registration to ensure accurate and up-to-date information.

This will help you effectively participate in joint ventures or partnerships and access government contracts and opportunities.

Stay organized and keep your SAM account active to maximize the benefits of your registration.
