are required to register in the CCR in order to do business with the 
DoD if the contract solicitation occurred after May 31, 1998. Vendors

must update or renew their registration annually to maintain active 
status. The CCR validates the vendor's information and electronically 
shares the secure and encrypted data with the Defense Finance and 
Accounting Service (DFAS) to facilitate paperless payments through 
electronic funds transfer (EFT). Additionally, CCR shares the data with 
several government procurement and electronic business systems.

institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion and annually.
