· In order to enter a contract with the City of Austin for this funding, you must be a registered vendor with the Federal Government by completing a registration in Sam.gov. The Federal Government estimates registration takes at least 14 hours. You must go through full registration, not just obtain an ID. Assistance can be provided by the Sam.gov team.
