Federal Funding: Implementation of the New SAM Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) to Replace DUNS

The federal government is implementing a new “Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)” to replace the current DUNS number used to identify and validate federal contractors. This implementation will be effective April 4, 2022.

Although the implementation isn’t until April, many federal agencies (including the National Science Foundation) have begun the transition from the use of the DUNS number to the UEI, so you may be asked to include this number on your federal grant applications moving forward. As April gets closer, you will see more and more federal agencies replace the DUNS requirement with the UEI requirement.

Emerson’s UEI is JQMBE83BZHY6.
