Records Retention Policy Impacts Old SAM Registration Data

In accordance with GSA records retention policy, SAM.gov registration data older than ten (10) years is to be destroyed. The ten years will be calculated based on the expiration date of the historical version for both Active and Inactive registrations. (Example: A registration with an expiration date of 2014 will no longer be visible in search and display in the year 2025.)

ACTION: Users with an interest in old SAM registration data need to download and save the data before June 19th 2025.

Unique Entity IDs (UEIs) whose most recent active registration record falls outside the 10 year period - i.e. they haven’t had an active registration in over 10 years - will continue to exist as ID Assigned or Unvalidated ID records accordingly.  ID Assigned records include UEI, entity legal name, physical address and UEI assigned date data fields only.
