There is a known glitch with SAM.gov that occurred sometime this past summer that has impacted many vendors registrations causing NAICS codes, small/Other than small business status, and/or representations to drop off or reset which must be addressed to avoid compliance and/or eligibility issues.
How to Check and Fix It
- Log In and Review: Go to your SAM.gov Workspace, access your entity record, and check the “Representations and Certifications” section. Ensure your small business and socioeconomic status representations are accurate.
- Check NAICS Codes: Ensure your primary and secondary NAICS codes match your current business size standards. Ensure that the NAICS associated with your contract is on your representations and properly certified as Y/N
- Re-certify and Update: If your data fell off due to a glitch or expiration, choose “Update or renew my entire entity registration” and complete the questionnaire again.
- Contact the Federal Service Desk: If your status vanished despite a valid, active renewal, and you have issues with getting it fixed submit a ticket at FSD.gov to report a profile data error.
NOTE: SBA / Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) Mismatches: If your size standard or NAICS code alignment in SAM.gov does not match your SBA profile data, your small business designation may not display correctly so ensure you also check this.
