The federal government is retiring the use of Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) numbers to identify unique federal contractors and will use the UEI in its place. Federal contractors must obtain a UEI from SAM.gov and update E-Verify accordingly. The UEI is a 12-character alphanumeric ID and, after registration, can be retrieved from SAM.gov.
Only those E-Verify participants who hold federal contracts are required to make this update in E-Verify.
Truescreen will be in touch with impacted clients to retrieve their new UEI numbers.
For more information on the UEI Update, please see this release from the U.S. General Services Administration. For additional information on this transition, please visit SAM.gov.
