Is it a requirement that any vendor receiving funds through a prime recipient must have a DUNS number?
Prime recipients are required to report vendor payments in excess of $25,000 per award. OMB prefers the vendor DUNS number for identification, however if the vendor does not have a DUNS number, the vendor name and zip code of the vendor headquarters will be used for identification. Please reference OMB Memoranda M-09-21 section 2.3 (pdf) for further information.
