Contractor Central Registration

The Contactor Central Registration (CCR) and Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) registration are required to do business with DoDDS Pacific.

The Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is the primary vendor database for the Department of Defense (DoD). The CCR collects, validates, stores and disseminates data in support of agency missions.

Both current and potential government vendors are required to register in CCR in order to do be awarded contracts by the DoD. Vendors are required to complete a one-time registration to provide basic information relevant to procurement and financial transactions. Vendors must update or renew their registration annually to maintain an active status.

CCR validates the vendor's information and electronically shares the secure and encrypted data with the federal agencies' finance offices to facilitate paperless payments through electronic funds transfer (EFT). Additionally, CCR shares the data with several government procurement and electronic business systems.

The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number is a unique nine character identification number provided by the commercial company Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). Call D&B at 1-800-333-0505 or 610-882-7000 if you do not have a DUNS number. The process to request a DUNS number takes about 10 minutes and is free of charge. You can also register for your DUNS number at Dun & Bradstreet's. Please note that registration via the web site may take a few days to complete. If you already have a DUNS number, the D&B representative will advise you over the phone. You must have a different 9 digit DUNS for each physical location/different address in your company as well as each legal division that may be co-located.
