The Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system is a
central repository of all contractors wanting to do business with the Department
of Defense (DoD). CCR is part of the government's ongoing re-engineering
of the procurement process to enhance service to customers and to lower
costs. To receive contract awards from the DoD for solicitations
issued after May 31, 1998, all companies and agencies must be registered
in the CCR.
Prospective contractors must
be registered in the CCR database prior to award of a contract, basic agreement,
basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement, except for:
-
if the purchase is made with a government
credit card;
-
you are a foreign vendor working
outside the U.S.;
-
if the contract or purchase is classified;
-
it's awarded in the course of military
operations by a deployed contracting officer;
-
it's of a compelling or urgent nature
If you haven't registered
for CCR, check out the web site at http://www.ccr.gov.
From the web site, you can register electronically or verify your registration.
You only have to register once, but you must confirm that the information
is accurate on an annual basis. If you do not want to register electronically,
you can complete the paper registration form and mail or fax the application
to the CCR Assistance Center, phone 1-888-352-9333, Option 3.
