THOMAS FAX: 340.774.9587 HTTP://DPP.VI.GOV OPCMR What Is a D-U-N-S Number? The Virgin Islands Government is a substantial recipient of federal funds, and as a result, all of our vendors are required to register with Dun & Bradstreet to obtain a DUNS Number. Data Universal Numbering System (“DUNS”) ID number is a unique nine-digit identifier for Federal financial assistance applicants, as well as recipients and their direct subrecipients. DUNS Numbers apply to agency’s grants, cooperative agreements, loans and other types of Federal financial assistance that a non-Federal entity receives or administers in the form of a grant or a cooperative agreement. Who’s required to have a DUN#’s number? The federal government uses DUNS numbers to track federal money disbursements. Registering for a DUNS number is voluntary. However, the identifier is necessary to bid on local, state, or government contracts and apply for federal grants or other credit with a lender. Listed companies include major corporations, small business owners, nonprofit organizations, and partnerships. Its users include the U.S. government, the United Nations (UN), and the European Commission. The DUNS number provides information related to a company such as its official business title, name, financial data, trade name, payment history, economic status, and executive names. Further, the number allows a company to search for information about other companies and helps businesses find potential customers, partners, or vendors. It also allows for the confirmation of the credibility of a business and helps with conducting business with retailers and some foreign countries, such as Australia and the European Union (EU).
