When does a SAM.gov registration expire?

Annually, on a date specific to the registration. Renewal is not automatic, and it takes ten to fifteen business days to take effect — so a registration expiring inside two months is a problem for anything you plan to submit.

Renew early, not at the deadline

The gap between submitting a renewal and it taking effect is where applications fail. An organization that renews the week its registration expires can still be inactive on the day a deadline lands.
