Important best practices are provided, including registering in SAM.gov, including multiple points of contact, and utilizing helpdesk support for any issues. Organizations must renew their registration every year, with reminders sent 60, 30, and 15 days before expiration. Registration is essential for applying via Grants.gov or receiving payments.
