Subaward Reporting in SAM.gov

As of March 8th 2025, FSRS.gov was retired, and all subaward reporting data and functionality are now on SAM.gov.

 

Follow These Steps

Federal users do not need a role to search and view subaward and subcontract reports, simply sign in with your government email. There is a public subaward API and public subcontract API for any large data downloads needs.

 

Entities that need to report subawards will need a role in SAM.gov. You only need to follow these steps once to connect your accounts.

 

If you got an FSRS.gov account or changed your FSRS.gov permissions after 1/30/2025, request the Data Entry role for entity reporting from your Workspace instead, and ask for the subaward reporting permission in your request comment.

  1. Sign in here to SAM.gov using your legacy FSRS.gov username and password
  2. Verify your entity name and UEI are correct
  3. If applicable, add more entities to your SAM.gov account—you may need to request permission from the Entity Administrator

Once you finish, go to your SAM.gov Workspace and select My Roles to confirm you have a reporting role assigned to the entity you are responsible for reporting for.
