Registration Instructions. DOD will require Contractors to register as trading partners to do business with the Government. This policy can be reviewed via the INTERNET at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/releases/1999/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇_bt079-99.html. To do EDI with the Government, Contractors must register as a trading partner. Contractors will provide regular business information, banking information, and EDI capabilities to all agencies in this single registration. A central repository of all trading partners, called the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/, has been developed. All Government procuring offices and other interested parties will have access to this central repository. The database is structured to identify the types of data elements which are public information and those which are confidential and not releasable. To register, contractors must provide their Dun and Bradstreet (DUNS) number. The DUNS number is available by calling ▇(▇▇▇)▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇. It is provided and maintained free of charge and only takes a few minutes to obtain. Contractors will need to provide their Tax Identification Number (TIN). The TIN is assigned by the Internal Revenue Service by calling ▇(▇▇▇)▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇. Contractors will also be required to provide information about company bank or financial institution for electronic funds transfer (EFT). Contractors may register through on-line at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/ or through their Value Added Network (VAN) using an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) ASC X12 838 transaction set, called a "Trading Partner Profile." A transaction set is a standard format for moving electronic data. VAN’s will be able to assist contractors with registration.
