Greg,
can you clarify? Are you saying, for example, that funds we administer under a grant from the State of Illinois (but which originate as federal funds under a CDC breast cancer screening program) would trigger the requirement for our organization as the subrecipient to complete a registration in ORCA?

>SAM is used to help with the solicitation requirements, review of offers, evaluation of offers and vendor selection, creation of the actual contracts, evaluation of contractor performance, financial payments, and close-outs.  It includes the CFDA, Fed Biz Opps, CCR, ORCA, EPLS, PPIRS (CPARS/FAPIIS), Wage Determination, FPDS, and eSRS so far.  All under one login.  As it stands now, there remains the multiple systems.  Once SAM is operational there will be only one that is compartmented into the various sections.

My understanding is that it obviates the need to make some certifications when negotiating individual federal contracts, but I'm guessing there's more to it?
