SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary vendor
database for the U.S. Federal Government. CCR collects, validates,
stores, and disseminates data in support of agency acquisition
missions.
Both current and potential Federal Government vendors are required
to register in CCR in order to be awarded contracts by the Federal
Government. Vendors are required to complete a one-time registration to
provide basic information relevant to procurement and financial
transactions. Vendors must update or renew their registration at least
once per year to maintain an active status.
CCR validates the vendor information and electronically shares the
secure and encrypted data with Federal agency finance offices to
facilitate paperless payments through electronic funds transfer (EFT).
Additionally, CCR shares the data with Federal Government procurement
and electronic business systems.
