View SAM Information

You can view general SAM information for trading partners on the Manage SAM Trading Partners page.

You can view details such as the unique entity identifier (UEI), CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) Code, registration status, and so on. From this page, you can click the Unique Entity Identifier link to view the trading partner profile and review additional details.

To search for trading partner records on the Manage SAM Trading Partners page, you can either use the Search field to search by the UEI or select one of the search filters such as UEI, legal business name, registration status, and so on.

Note: When you search by the UEI, these limitations apply:

• The search only considers the “starts with” operator for the search term.
• The search isn't case-sensitive but it only supports the following cases:
  • Original case
  • Lower case
  • Upper case
  • Initial capitalization

  For example, if you enter abcdG as the search term, the search results will retrieve records with UEI that starts with abcdG (original case), abcdg (lower case), ABCDG (uppercase), or Abcd (initial capitalization).
