Re: DUNS number database Bob Beattie 02 Apr 2009 11:43 EST
The CCR is a potential source of DUNS numbers but not perfect. If you search on our official name, for example, -- Regents of the University of Michigan, you will find 6 entries. Anyone can register in D& B with any name they want. No one at UM cares to police the use of its name, so you get multiple entries of us. I suspect other universities are similar. You can try usaspending.gov which is supposed to have all grants listed. If you search 2009 for Regents of University of Michigan, you get an entry for a DUNS number I have never seen before 957496466. If use just Unviversity of Michigan, you get two more, including one that is DBA the Flint Branch Radio station. They got grants for $25million. This site also has Congressional Districts. Once the FFATA subaward reporting system is imposed on us, we will have to know the DUNS of subawardees when we make that award. In the meantime why not look on the Sub Award Budget forms from the Grants.gov applications. For pre-425R&R applications, one might just ask the subaward PI.

Or if you do not manually collect this, do you subscribe to a database that has a listing of DUNS numbers? I had thought such a thing would be available from Dun and Bradstreet, who used to give out single DUNS numbers for entities, but when I called, they informed me that they do not offer such information, nor do they offer a database. They could sell a short report which would include the single entities number for about $13 - which doesn't really do it, if you need multiple numbers. I also checked in the Federal Clearing House Audit Reports, but only the EIN number is collected there. Any advice would be appreciated (on or off line).
