If you're new to federal contracting, the System for Award Management (SAM) registration might seem confusing. Many companies that handle SAM registration independently miss critical details, causing costly delays or outright rejection. Such setbacks mean lost opportunities and blocked revenue streams.
Common SAM Registration Mistakes:
-
Missing Required Documents: Forgetting just one document can stall your application.
-
Unsigned or Incorrect Documents: Always verify signatures and accuracy.
-
Incomplete Information: Blank or incomplete fields often lead to rejection.
-
Vague Officer Titles: Clearly specify titles to avoid confusion.
-
Incorrect NAICS Codes: Choosing the wrong industry codes limits your opportunities.
