Some of the recipients of grants from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) have proven to have limited experience with managing Federal funds. This questionnaire is designed to identify those potential recipients and provide appropriate training or additional safeguards for Federal funds. Additionally, the questionnaire serves as a pre-audit function in identifying potential deficiencies and minimizing the risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or mismanagement, which we use in lieu of a more costly and time consuming formal pre-award audit.
Below is a brief explanation for our request to change the Financial Capability Questionnaire Form (17003) from DUNS to UEI.
Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) - As of April 4, 2022
The Federal Government has transitioned from the use of the DUNS Number to the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) as the primary means of entity identification for Federal awards government-wide. UEIs are required in accordance with 2 CFR Part 25, and the transition from DUNS to UEI has resulted in the UEI being issued by the Federal Government in SAM.gov. This means entities no longer rely on a third-party to obtain an identifier (i.e., a DUNS issued by Dun and Bradstreet). This change streamlines the entity identification and validation process, making it easier and less burdensome for entities to do business with the Federal Government.
