Contractor Registration


Contractors working in home repair programs must register with the City as a vendor, obtain a Unique Entity ID (UEI) number and register with the System for Award Management (SAM):
  • City: The New Contractor Packet explains the necessary qualifications to work as a contractor for the City's housing programs as a vendor. This packet includes the Vendor/Contractor Registration Application, a vendor information form, and a W-9 form.
  • Unique Entity ID (UEI) Registration: All contractors must acquire a UEI number through the federal government's System for Award Management (SAM). You can visit the SAM website at https://sam.gov/content/home to register. The process is free. Please refer to this fact sheet for UEI details.
  • SAM Registration: Contractors are required to register with the SAM. The process involves creating an Individual Account and then registering as a new entity. Please visit the SAM.gov website for details or contact the Montana Procurement Technical Assistance Program (PTAC) for assistance at 406.869.8410. PTAC assistance is free.
