GSA: Central Contractor Registration

Before you can be awarded a GSA contract schedule you will be required to register with Central Contractor Registration (CCR). CCR is the primary vendor database for the U.S. Federal Government. As a current or potential federal government vendor you are required to register your business with CCR in order to be awarded contracts by the federal government. The registration will require you to provide CCR basic information about your business’ procurement procedures and financial viability. Once registered, you must update or renew your business’ registration at least once per year to maintain an active status.

Once you have registered with CCR, CCR will validate the information you have provided about your business and then electronically share the secure and encrypted data with the federal agencies’ finance offices to facilitate paperless payments through electronic funds transfer (EFT). GSA CCR also shares the data with federal government procurement and electronic business systems.

Information Need Prior to Registration
Prior to registration you will need to: (1) obtain a DUNS number; (2) if applicable, a DUNS +4 number; (3) obtain a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code; (4) a Federal Tax Identification Number; and (5) a Legal Business Name and Doing Business As Name.
