While traversing federal procurement processes, businesses must regularly monitor their SAM.gov registration status to maintain eligibility for government contracts.

The dashboard features a centralized tracking interface that displays all entity registrations and exclusions in one convenient location. Users can quickly identify their registration status among five key registration categories: Active, Incomplete, Expired, In Process, and Inactivated. Users can access the Entity Status Tracker to check their registration progress once they have successfully signed in to the system. Having your DUNS number ready can expedite this verification process significantly. Proactively managing this information helps businesses ensure their registration compliance remains in good standing.

Each status appears with critical indicators, including expiration countdowns and compliance flags. The dashboard updates in real-time following SAM.gov review cycles, ensuring businesses always see current information.

Navigation features include filtering options by status type or UEI number, and registration number hyperlinks that provide direct access to complete entity details.

Export capabilities allow users to download summaries for record-keeping purposes.
