GSA is supporting an active Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigation into fraudulent activity discovered within SAM. Certain alleged bad actors have, through electronic means, used public information to impersonate legitimate entities and established new entity registrations for those entities in SAM. By establishing fraudulent entity registrations, alleged bad actors can potentially submit bids in U.S. Government procurement systems or ship deficient or counterfeit goods. A key element of GSA's mission is to provide efficient and effective acquisition solutions across the Federal Government. SAM is essential to the accomplishment of that mission. In addition to federal contracts, federal assistance programs also rely upon the integrity and security of the information in SAM. Without assurances that information in SAM is protected and is at minimal risk of compromise, GSA risks losing the confidence of the federal acquisition and assistance communities. As a result, some entities may prefer not to do business with the Federal Government.
