Add Your SBA Certification to SAM.gov

When you receive an SBA certification, you need to update your SAM.gov registration so that your certification will be visible on SAM.gov.

Steps for adding your SBA certification to SAM.gov

1. When you receive an SBA certification, SBA sends certification information to SAM.gov, where it is held until you update your registration

2. SAM.gov sends your designated contact an email to notify that new certification is available in SAM.gov

3. A representative for the firm logs in to SAM.gov, starts an update to the registration, and confirms SBA certification is present

4. A representative for the firm saves registration and when it becomes active, SBA certification is visible under Entity Types

Please see this video for instructions on navigating and updating your SAM.gov registration:

If your certification is not showing up on SAM.gov:

1. Contact your certification program’s office

2. SBA will resend the certification

3. Once certification is resent, log in to SAM.gov, start an update to your registration, and confirm SBA certification is present

4. Save registration and when it becomes active, SBA certification is visible under Entity Types
