5. Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS)
The unique entity identifier required for SAM registration to uniquely identify business entities. (Previously was the Dun & Bradstreet DUNS Number)

In 2016, the government revised both the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (2CFR) to remove any proprietary references to D&B and the DUNS® number as the unique entity identifier.
This allowed the government to decouple the required unique identifier from the supporting entity validation services.
