What is the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database?
The CCR was created to be the single repository of vendor data for the entire Department of Defense to avoid duplication and allow contractors to take responsibility for the accuracy of their own important business information by supplying it directly to the government through a single registration. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.1102 states that prospective federal contractors need to be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database prior to award of a contract or agreement. It is preferable to be registered prior to beginning the schedule process. NOTE: A service-disabled veteran-owned small business would indicate its status as a small business and a service-disabled veteran owned business in the “Social-Economic Factors” section.
