Registrant Name: Enter the name of the person that acknowledges that the information provided in the registration is current, accurate, and complete. The person named here will be the only person within the registering company to receive the Trading Partner Identification Number (TPIN). (The TPIN is a password to protect access to your registration and banking information on the CCR.)

Work Smart

Never give your TPIN to anyone you don't know. This information should always be protected. CCR personnel will never ask you for your TPIN. To avoid becoming a victim of a fraudulent scheme to compromise your TPIN and damaging your company, keep your TPIN strictly confidential.

The Registrant and the Alternate Contact (see below) are the only people authorized to share information with CCR Assistance Center personnel. It is important that the person named here have knowledge about the CCR registration.

Correspondence Check Boxes:

______ US Mail
______ FAX
______ E-mail

To promote prompt receipt of information, e-mail or faxes are definitely the preferred modes of communication. Recently, CCR has replaced mailings with secure e-mail. The TPIN and Welcome letter information will now be e-mailed to the primary point of contact (POC) listed on the CCR registration. If there is no e-mail address listed, these letters will be mailed via US mail. The 30-day renewal notification and expiration notice are sent via e-mail if an e-mail address has been provided for the primary POC.

Alternate Contact: Enter the name and phone number for another person at your company in case questions arise when the primary contact is not available.

Accounts Receivable: Provide contact information for the accounts receivable person at your company. This is the contact provided to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service regarding EFT payments on your government contracts. Note that this contact is not authorized to receive and/or release information regarding the CCR registration to any Registration Assistance Center personnel. It may be beneficial to have the accounts receivable contact also act as the alternate contact for the registration.

Owner Information: If you have checked "Sole Proprietorship" as your business type, you must provide the name and phone number of the owner of the business.

Government Business POC: This POC is that person in the company responsible for marketing and sales with the government. An email address is required. Both upper and lower cases are acceptable for all e-mail addresses. This POC and contact information, if entered, will be publicly displayed on the CCR Search Page. All contact methods are mandatory. The Alternate Government Business POC also is mandatory.

Past Performance POC: This POC is that person in the company responsible for administering the company's government past performance reports and response efforts. An email address is required. Both upper and lower cases are acceptable for all e-mail addresses. This POC and contact information is mandatory and, when entered, will be publicly displayed on the CCR Inquiry web site. All contact methods are mandatory. This person will be your watchdog over the performance ratings given by the government. It is very important that you monitor these ratings continuously.

Electronic Business POC: The EBPOC is the person in the company responsible for authorizing individual company personnel access into government electronic business systems (e.g., Electronic Document Access (EDA), Wide Area Workflow (WAWF)). POC and contact information is mandatory. This information will be publicly displayed on the CCR Inquiry web site. All contact methods are mandatory. Visit https://rmb.ogden.disa.mil/vreg.htm#Step2 to view detailed information on EBPOC responsibilities for WAWF.

Marketing Partner ID Number (MPIN): This is a self-defined access code that will be shared with authorized partner applications (e.g., Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Technical Data Solutions (FedTeDS) etc.). The MPIN acts as your password in these other systems, and you should guard it as such. The MPIN must be nine characters and contain at least one alpha character, one number and no spaces or special characters.

Warning

About three years ago, the CCR and SBA's PRO-Net databases were merged so that small businesses only need to register their information at one site. While this is good news, there is a downside to it. Many small businesses do not take the time to complete the additional company information required for the SBA database. Once a small business completes the basic CCR registration successfully, they are asked if you want to input additional information into SBA/PRO-Net. If you don't, buyers and others using the "Dynamic Small Business Search" will not find you and that may cost you business!

One more thing to remember, when you update your data, the small businesses also must change data in the SBA/PRO-Net database. The databases are not totally integrated yet. Just remember, CCR is a work in progress.
