Using the Add UEI Button
The System for Awards Management (SAM) requires a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) for vendors who provide goods or services to the federal government. The SAM UEI is the government's replacement the Dun and Bradstreet Numbers (DUNS).
The Add UEI button displays next to the UEI SAM field on the Company Info page only when vendor records in FedConnect do not already have a SAM UEI listed. Your company's vendor administrator can use the Add UEI button to update your company's vendor records in FedConnect with the UEI values from SAM.
When you click the Add UEI button on the Company Info page, FedConnect retrieves the following data from your company's SAM entity record:
-
UEI SAM
-
CAGE (if applicable)
-
Company address
-
PSC/FSC codes
-
NAICS codes

Updating from SAM
Only a vendor administrator can update from SAM. When you click Update Company from SAM, this updates all of the relevant data about your company. The CAGE number that displays on the Company Info page is replaced with the most recent CAGE number from your company profile at SAM. In addition, your company's address, PSC/FSC codes, and NAICS codes are updated with the most recent information from SAM as well.
Setting Your Company's Email Notification Method
Only a vendor administrator can determine whether FedConnect sends email notifications about opportunities, awards, and other alerts to a central email address for your company (for instance, to a distribution list email), to the email addresses of individual users at your company, to both, or to neither.
When you set your company's email notification method, keep the following in mind:
-
Select Company Email Address if you want FedConnect to send email notifications to a central email address. If you select Company Email Address, then the Company Email field displays, where you must type the email address where you want all of your company's FedConnect-related correspondence to be sent.
-
Select Individual User Email Address if you want FedConnect to send email notifications to the email addresses of individual users at your company. If you select Individual User Email Address, then individual users at your company will receive FedConnect-related correspondence at the email addresses established in their user profiles.
-
Select Both if you want FedConnect to send email notifications to both a central email address, as well as to the email addresses of individual users at your company. If you select Both, then the Company Email field displays, where you must type the email address where you want all of your company's FedConnect-related correspondence to be sent.
-
Select None if you do not want to receive FedConnect-related correspondence via email at your company. If you select None, then users at your company can still read their messages in the Message Center. To find out more, jump to Using the Message Center.
