SAM, which stands for System for Award Management, is a government-wide database for vendors seeking out government contracts.

Government contractors provide goods or services to the government in exchange for payment. They may be individuals or businesses, and government contracts typically regulate their work. On the other hand, government consultants are individuals or companies that provide advice and expertise to government agencies.
Federal business opportunities for contractors are listed at SAM. Government agencies are required to use SAM to advertise all contracts over $25,000.
If you need to search for contract data or specific contracts, please go to FPDS (opens in new window) and use the ezSearch tool. The FPDS search and data entry functions have not yet been migrated to SAM, but will be migrated in the future. Many reports on acquisition awards are available to the public.
