Can any direct me in how to get our Unique Entity Identifier from SAM? Obviously we are registered and searchable under our DUNS. But I don't know where to find the UEI.

I do not believe they are available yet. When you get one your DUNS number will no longer be shown but the UEI will be.....
Transition Phase: (July 2019–Transition Completion)
- The DUNS number remains the official identifier for doing business with the U.S. Government.
- Entities continue to register in SAM.gov using the DUNS number assigned by D&B.
- Entity uniqueness continues to be validated by D&B as part of the DUNS number assignment process.
- GSA published updated technical specifications, which include the new SAM-generated UEI, for interfacing systems in December 2019.
- GSA develops the tools needed to generate UEIs.
- GSA develops an interface to new entity validation service provider to determine entity uniqueness.
- GSA supports robust testing of new interfaces with agency systems.
- GSA communicates upcoming changes to stakeholders, sharing more detail as available
Transition Complete
- The SAM-generated UEI becomes the official identifier for doing business with the U.S. Government.
- Entities request new UEIs through SAM.gov before starting their entity registration.
- Entity uniqueness is determined by the new entity validation service provider.
Transition for Existing Entities
- Your registration will automatically be assigned a new UEI which will be displayed in SAM.gov.
- The purpose of registration, core data, assertions, representations & certifications, points of contacts, etc. in SAM.gov will not change and no one will be required to re-enter this data.
