CCR Users Notice
December 29, 2003
To Users of Central Contractor Registration (CCR) data:
CCR is making changes to the registration database to add additional Business Types in the Corporate Information section of the vendor registration. The grantee community is moving toward registration in CCR, including the Grants.gov grant application portal; therefore additional grant-related business types are required to allow registrants to accurately self-identify their business. To this end, we are adding 41 new business types.

Finally, CCR will validate the registrants DUNS number against the D&B database for linkage associated with the registrant. Linkage will identify the ultimate global parent for the registered vendor.
Our goal with these modifications is to provide you, our customer, with a more detail oriented vendor database for use in your acquisition process.
As always, if you have further question regarding any of the above changes, please do not hesitate to contact our help desk at 1-888-227-2423 or 1-269-961-4725.
