Contractor Responsibility Assessment

Responsibility Reviews in About a Minute

Before every award, contracting officers have to confirm a vendor is responsible. That usually means logging in to several federal websites, pulling records one at a time, and assembling them for the contract file.

The CRA application does all of that from a single email. Send a vendor's UEI and get back one report that brings the federal data together, ready for the contract file.

How It Works

If you can send an email, you can use the CRA application. There is nothing to learn and nothing for your IT team to set up.

1

Send a UEI

Email the vendor’s Unique Entity ID in the subject line. For many vendors at once, attach a text file of UEIs.

2

We Pull the Federal Data

The application gathers the vendor’s records from SAM.gov, FPDS, and other federal sources and checks them for risk flags.

3

Get Your Report

A PDF report lands in your inbox in about a minute, ready to review and file. Add the optional memo and your documentation is done too.
