CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION IMPORTANT NOTICE OF ALL PROSPECTIVE DoD CONTRACTORS. SUBJECT: Central Contractor Registration (CCR). The director of defense procurement has issued a proposed rule (DFARS Case 97-D005, Federal Register, September 15, 1997) to require that all contractors register in the Department of Defense Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database prior to the award of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement, unless the award results from a solicitation issued on or before March 31, 1998. You are therefore urged to register in the near future. Registration can be accomplished in one of several ways: You may call 1-888-CCR-2423 to obtain a registration packet, and then mail or fax the form directly to the Central Contractor Registration Assistance Center (CCRAC); or the form along with the proposed rule is available on-line at http://www.acq.osd.mil/ec. Among other information, contractors will need to provide their DUNS number, taxpayer identification number, commercial and government entity code, business ownership status, and all applicable Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. Contractors will be required to register once and then annually confirm that their registration is accurate and complete. Your prompt attention to this matter is vital. Please register as soon as possible in order to remain eligible for future defense contract awards. WEB: Cental Contractor Register (CCR), http:/www.usace.mil/cespk-ct.
