Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) As of April 4, 2022, the federal government requires all recipients and subrecipients of federal funding to use a Unique Federal Identifier (UEI) to identify their organization.
The UEI must be acquired through the SAM. gov website and is free of charge. For FY2026 NSGP applicants, if you have a UEI, enter it in the FY2026 application template where it is indicated.
If you do not yet have a UEI you may leave that field in the application template blank, and your application will be accepted. However, continue your efforts to get a UEI, as DC HSEMA must have a UEI for all successful applicants in order to issue sub-grants in the coming months. Please refer to the UEI instructions in the Preparedness Grants Manual and the FY2026 NSGP NOFO.
A helpful guide explaining how to acquire a UEI is available on GSA's YouTube page: Get a Unique Entity ID in SAM. gov . NSGP applicants do not need to register their UEI’s (that is a much more complicated process).
Nonprofit applicants must use the following naming convention for the files submitted to the SAA: The Investment Justification file name should follow this format: “ FY2026_NSGP_UA_DC_NCR_<Nonprofit Name> ”; As an example, an application from an organization named ABC School would name their Investment Justification file “FY2026_NSGP_UA_DC_NCR_ABC School”.
The Mission Statement file name should be: “ <nonprofit name> Mission Statement ” The Vulnerability Assessment file name should be: “ <nonprofit name> Vulnerability Assessment ” Submit applications by email to [email protected] and [email protected] .
