SAM.gov Entity Search

Look up any active federal registrant by company name, CAGE code, or UEI. Read registration status, expiration, NAICS, and location at a glance — free and evidence-framed.

Search the federal registry, read the evidence

SAM.gov is where every organization that wants to do business with the U.S. government registers. Behind each registration sits the identity evidence a procurement or supplier-quality team needs: a Unique Entity ID (UEI), usually a CAGE code, a registration status, an expiration date, and the NAICS and PSC classifications that describe what the company actually does. The official site is authoritative but built for transactions, not fast reconnaissance.

This search is built for the reconnaissance step. Enter a name, a CAGE code, or a UEI and get the registrants that match — each with its status, expiration date, primary NAICS, and location shown up front, so you can triage a list of candidates without opening a dozen tabs. Manufacturing registrants (NAICS 31-33) and machine shops (NAICS 332710) are flagged.

Click any result to open its full evidence profile: legal name, UEI, CAGE code, plain-English registration status, an "expires in N days" countdown, every NAICS classification with its meaning, and the registered location, sourced from the public SAM.gov extract.

Frequently asked questions

How do I search SAM.gov entities here?: Type a company name, a 5-character CAGE code, or a 12-character UEI in the box above. Results list matching registrants with their registration status, expiration date, primary NAICS, and location. Click any result for the full evidence profile.
How do I read a SAM registration status?: Active means the entity has a current registration and can receive federal awards. Expired means the 12-month registration has lapsed and must be renewed before new awards. Deleted means the registration record was removed. Always confirm the live status at SAM.gov before a contract action.
What are NAICS codes and why do they matter?: NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes describe what an entity does. A machine shop, for example, is NAICS 332710. Manufacturers fall in the 31-33 range. NAICS codes let you confirm a supplier is actually classified for the work you are sourcing, not just registered.
