Central Contractor Registration

The federal government’s fiscal year ends September 30. Good time to check your Central Contractor Registration (CCR) for information accuracy. Each year, funds are lost due to inactive CCR registrations or inaccurate bank account information.

CCR has requested that NACM pass along the following important information to our members:
CCR has recently been informed that fraudulent letters were sent to contractors requesting that the vendor provide their TPIN for new CCR related features. Do not, under any circumstance, provide your TPIN to any person outside of your immediate organization. Listed below are samples of the fraudulent letters:

Letter 1

Letter 2

Phone Solicitation

CCR has been notified that registrants are receiving misleading phone calls from someone claiming to be from CCR. The caller tells the Registrant that their registration was incomplete and offers to fix it for $300.

There is no charge to enter or update registrant information in CCR.

If you have questions or concerns regarding your registration, please contact the CCR Help Desk. For additional information, go to http://www.ccr.gov/securitynote.aspx.

United States Government employees are prohibited from receiving federal contracts. This FAR subpart 3.601 prohibition avoids a conflict between the employee’s interests and their government duties and avoids the appearance of favoritism or preferential treatment by the Government toward its employees. For the same reasons, it is JCC-I/A policy that contractor employees performing for JCC-I/A offices cannot receive JCC-I/A contracts

RCC chiefs will ensure government or contractor employees do not receive JCC-I/A contracts. If this situation is identified, RCC chiefs will notify CID and the PARC immediately. The Command Judge Advocate is available to answer questions and to provide advice.
