Integrated Award Environment (IAE)

The Integrated Award Environment (IAE), a Presidential E-Government initiative managed by GSA, facilitates every phase of the acquisition lifecycle, from market research to contract administration. The federal government is working to make the acquisition of goods and services secure, streamlined and cost-effective with IAE. The goal of the IAE initiative is to integrate and unify the federal acquisition process for government buyers and sellers.

Through IAE, the acquisition functions common to all agencies are now centrally managed as shared systems. In the coming years, these shared systems will be integrated into a single system, the System for Award Management (SAM). SAM integrates the capabilities provided by the shared systems, streamlines processes, eliminates redundant data and saves taxpayer money.

Below you will find out about which systems have already been migrated to SAM and the other legacy systems that are planned for future migration.

Already Migrated
