SAM.gov registration, guided — not guessed at.
A plain-English walkthrough for SAM.gov registration that catches data errors before they cause a rejection, and keeps you from quietly losing your federal funding eligibility to a missed renewal.
Registering for the first time
Small businesses going through SAM.gov registration once, without a compliance department to lean on. We turn the jargon into plain English and check your entries before you submit — so it works the first time.
Managing renewals for a local government
Counties, cities, school districts, and special districts whose federal grant eligibility depends on staying active. Renewal tracking survives staff turnover — the deadline doesn't live in one person's head.
How it works
Answer a guided wizard
Plain-English questions for every field — no acronyms without an explanation, no guessing what SAM.gov actually wants.
We catch errors before you submit
EIN format, routing number checksum, required fields, NAICS codes — checked against the real 2022 NAICS structure, not a guess.
Get your prep packet
A PDF organized in the same order as the SAM.gov form, plus a pre-submission checklist of documents to have ready.
Submit yourself, we track the renewal
You log into SAM.gov and submit directly — we never touch it. Once you're active, we track your expiration and remind you at 90/60/30/14 days out.
SAM.gov registration is free and mandatory — always.
SAM Sherpa is an independent service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov, GSA, or the U.S. government. Any fee here is for the guided software — the validation, packet prep, and renewal tracking — never for the registration itself, which you always complete yourself, directly on SAM.gov.
