WI NEUs – Review ARPA Contact and UEI Information – Due by July 15, 2022

June 30, 2022

To: Heads of Government and Municipal Clerks


The U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) is requesting each Wisconsin non-entitlement unit of government (NEU) review and confirm key information. In result, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) compiled a spreadsheet including primary point of contact, authorized representative, and status of the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number for each WI NEU.

Each WI NEU received two payments (2021 and 2022) under the American Rescue Plan Act – State and Local Fiscal Recovery funds (ARPA-SLFRF). As an NEU official, we are asking for your assistance to ensure your municipality's information is current and accurate. DOR will provide the information to Treasury for ARPA-SLFRF purposes.

Reminder – Renew Your SAM.gov Registration Annually

  • On April 4, 2022, the federal government stopped using the DUNS Number to identify entities. Instead, entities should use the UEI number created in SAM.gov.
  • If you are registered in SAM.gov – your UEI number is already assigned and is viewable
  • New SAM.gov registrants – are assigned a UEI number as part of their registration
  • Refer to the Entity Validation Document guide and checklist for assistance with renewing your registration

UEI Backlog in SAM.gov

  • It's important to note – there is a backlog issue associated with the SAM.gov UEI transition process
  • New registrants should start the process well ​in advance of next April's reporting deadline
  • Entities with SAM.gov registrations expiring in the next 190 days should start now to renew
