What is an MPIN? Where can I locate or assign my MPIN?

The Marketing Partner ID Number ( MPIN ) is mandatory for SAM registrants and contains nine characters: at least one letter (upper or lower case) and one number. No spaces or special characters are permitted.

An MPIN is a personal code that allows you to access other government applications such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS). The MPIN acts as your password in these other systems, and you should safeguard it.

To view your company's MPIN:
1. Go to the SAM Homepage: www.sam.gov.
2. Enter your user ID and password, then click the "Log In" button.
3.  Locate your entity via the "Complete Registrations" or "Incomplete Registrations" link under Manage Entity in the left navigation pane.
4. Go to the Business Information page to view and change your MPIN.
