Re: DUNS number Bob Beattie 24 Feb 2009 10:24 EST

Sorry if I am being redundant, in case this is not resolved, here is
my take.

I think the response before regarding the 44-4444444 was cited from
the NIH Adobe Guide
 From NIH Guide

6.   Employer Identification

Enter the TIN or EIN as assigned by the Internal Revenue Service. If
your organization is not in the US, type 44-4444444.

I recall that zeros were ok for unknown DUNS numbers but they do not
have a dash (-) at the beginning,  just 9 digits, but then a dash if
a DUNS +4.

Foreign entities can obtain a DUNS number, and if you are dealing
with such, you might help them do so.  They will need a DUNS number
so you can report their subaward to FFATA.

This came up a few weeks ago and I believe the response was either
00-0000000 or 44-4444444 should be used for foreign entities

Hi All,

What DUNS number do we use for foreign institutions or do they have to
obtain a DUNS number for their institution?
