Last year USDA investments helped hundreds of West Virginia businesses, employing thousands of workers to expand production, lower costs or acquire tools they need to compete in the global marketplace.
SAM is the new streamlined reporting system for USDA staff and other federal agencies. The consolidated system simplifies the process for loan and grant recipients and makes project tracking more transparent.
SAM replaces the following systems: Central Contractor Registration (CCR), Federal Agency Registration (FedReg), Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List.
