Hi Kate,

I am late replying to your question, and perhaps you have already found the answer. Yes, subs under federal contracts are required to have SAM registration to bid on contracts. We requested an approval of a subcontract and cannot obtain it from the federal agency until the sub adds to their SAM registration the one for bidding on contracts.

A quick question related to this topic - if your institution does not directly bid on contracts, but is a subcontractor on other contracts, would the institution doing the subcontracting need to be registered in SAM to bid on contracts?

Thanks!

Every university and hospital that is non-profit but does any contracting is registered with SAM. Must be to bid on contracts. Non-profit status doesn't affect that.

Hi!

Is anyone aware of any reason that changing an institute’s purpose of registration in SAM in order to bid on contracts would affect the institute’s non-profit status?

A simpler way to ask the question might be, is there anyone out there at a non-profit (501c3) that is registered in SAM to bid on contracts?

Thanks!
