Contractor capability.

With SAM, one user ID and password Login will provide access to all the capabilities
associated with:

Process!
SAM integrates registration with representations and certifications to create a simplified, streamlined process. It divides data entry into three logical groupings:
Core data (ex: Name and address, org type, financial information)
Assertions (ex: NAICS, size metrics) and conditional or
optional information (proceedings, disaster)
Reps and Certs (FAR questionnaire)
Reporting Location!
SAM keeps all data in one place, so you only have to enter it one time.
For Owners of Interfacing Systems
Data Location and / or New Interfaces!
Capabilities will remain the same, but the data will be consolidated into one location, eliminating data redundancies and potential data
conflicts. The configuration of your current data feed will change to align with the consolidated data model. The following presentations provides an overview of the
planned changes.
