CCR VIA THE WEB Contact Karen Hembree at 703-696-0417. Central Contractor Registration (CCR) will replace the requirement for current and future contractors to submit Standard Form 129 and provides a single location for registering to conduct business with the Federal government. Access to register is available via the World Wide Web as of October 1, 1996. A registration workbook is available for downloading from this site. It is highly recommended to complete prior to accessing CCR to ensure all required information is available. Contractors are required to have a DUNS (Data Universal Numbering System) assigned by Dun and Bradstreet at no charge (call 1-800-333-0505). The initial Web application capability is for initial contractor registration only. The ability to change, update or cancel a registration and query contractor information via the Web will be available in the second quarter of fiscal year 97. Contractors will be able to save in-progress registrations pending completion for up to 30 days. Upon entering a partial registration, contractors will receive a temporary confirmation number. The confirmation and DUNS numbers are required to access the in-progress registration to complete for submittal. After submitting a registration, contractors may use the Web application to inquire regarding the status of their registration while being validated. Typically, a registration will be activated 7-10 days after submission. Once successfully registered in CCR, a notice will be sent via email or facsimile (if addresses are provided, if not, via the regular post) with information that a Trading Partner Identification Number (TPIN) will soon follow. The TPIN is used for log on purposes and will be sent separately. Anyone may access CCR via the Web to inquire whether a vendor is registered. The CCR Web address is http://ccr.disa.mil. Additional information or assistance is available from your local Electronic Commerce Resource Center or the Electronic Commerce Information Center at 1-800-334-3414 8a-8pm, Eastern Time; Monday-Friday, except Federal holidays.
