G5 to replace DUNS numbers with UEI in April
- All entities that want to do business with the federal government must first obtain a DUNS number. The DUNS number is the current unique identifier that the government uses to verify an entity. On April 4, 2022, the U.S. Government will switch from using the DUNS number to a new Unique Entity ID in SAM.gov (System for Award Management), also known as a UEI. All GSA Integrated Award Environment (IAE) systems such as SAM, FPDSNG, eSRS, FSRS, FAPIIS, and CPARS will require the use of the UEI after April 4, 2022.

Paper forms no longer required for G5 access
- The U.S. Department of Education no longer requires grant recipients to send paper copies of completed forms related to the Payee role in G5. Instead, the forms should be scanned or filled out electronically and emailed to edcaps.user@ed.gov. Completed forms must bear the required signatures and be notarized (or, in lieu of notarization, contain a seal or stamp from the grantee organization, or be accompanied by a letter on letterhead from the Senior Officer who signs the authorization section). The G5 Payee Access Request Form is used to obtain Payee access (ability to draw funds from grant awards) or make changes to an existing Payee account. If you have questions, please email edcaps.user@ed.gov or call 888-336-8930.
