SAM registration
Argus Security Projects LLC (ASP LLC) is as a third party organization handling government registration, certification, research, bidding and business proposals for foreign companies trying to secure US government contracts.
In order for foreign companies to do business with the US government they must first register in the SAM system. The System for Award Management, more commonly known as SAM, is the primary source for agencies to learn about prospective vendors. SAM is a government-maintained free database of companies wanting to do business with the government.
A firm must register in the SAM system to participate as a seller in the federal space. Further, a firm’s profile in SAM must be updated at least once every 12 months for the profile to stay active. Completing an accurate and appealing small business profile in the government’s SAM system is an important and fundamental step in marketing goods and services to the federal government.
To register as qualified vendors international registrants will need a NATO Commercial And Government Entity Code (NCAGE). CAGE codes for entities located outside the United States and its territories are called NCAGE codes. The National Codification Bureau (NCB) governs assignment of international NCAGE codes as part of the NATO Codification System (NCS). An NCAGE is required for all foreign entities prior to registering in SAM and also DUNS Number from your Dun & Bradstreet (D-U-N-S, Number is a unique nine-digit identification number for each physical location of your business. D-U-N-S Number assignment is required for all businesses to register with the federal government for contracts or grants).
ASP LLC specializes in assisting foreign businesses in completing and maintaining a valid System Award Management (SAM) registration including obtaining all Codes and Numbers required. The US Government offers free registration forms at SAM.gov, but the government will not tell you when you’ve submitted incorrect or incomplete information, or why you’re not receiving contracts. All fees paid to ASP LLC are for the filing of government paperwork on a client’s behalf, saving time and ensuring complete and accurate filings.
