U.S. Department of Education announces additional requirement for applicants and grantees
Last month, the U.S. Department of Education announced an additional requirement for applicants to and grantees of its discretionary grant programs. In each notice inviting applications for grant awards, the U.S. Department of Education includes requirements governing an applicant’s Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number and its Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). Now, in order to do business with the U.S. Department of Education, an applicant must also register those numbers with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database.
Each potential applicant must now maintain an active CCR registration during the time its application is under review and, if funded, during the project period. This requirement does not, however, affect the submission of applications and does not require any applicant to amend, withdraw or resubmit its application.
