Are you a business owner or aspiring entrepreneur looking to tap into government contracting opportunities? Join us for “How to Register and Maintain Your SAM.gov and SBA’s SBS Profiles,” a practical session designed to help you navigate the latest updates to two of the most important tools in federal procurement: SAM.gov and the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Small Business Search (SBS).

What’s New in 2025?

• SBS has a brand-new portal and search interface, improving how government buyers and prime contractors find small businesses like yours.
• SAM.gov’s IRS validation step now features a new user interface, streamlining how your legal business name and EIN are verified during registration.
• We’ll walk you through the complete process—from preparing your documents to keeping your profiles current—so you don’t miss out on opportunities due to incomplete or outdated information.

What We’ll Cover:

• Preparing for SAM Registration – Understand what SAM is, how it’s used, and what to gather before you begin.
• SAM Validation (UEI & IRS UI Updates) – Learn how the 2025 IRS validation UI works, what documents are required, and how to troubleshoot validation errors.
• SAM Registration (CAGE Code) – Discover how to complete your registration and what happens after submission.
• Updating Your SBA DSBS Profile – Explore the new DSBS platform and how to make your profile stand out in the updated search results.
