# 25.205 Effect of noncompliance with a requirement to obtain a UEI or register in .
(a) Unless an entity is exempt under § 25.110, a Federal agency may not issue a Federal award or amend an existing Federal award to provide additional Federal funds if the entity is not in compliance with the requirements of this part. This does not apply to amendments to terminate or close out a Federal award.
(b) At the time a Federal agency is ready to make a Federal award, if the intended recipient has not complied with the requirements to obtain a UEI and maintain an active registration in *SAM.gov* with current information, the Federal agency may make a Federal award to another applicant.
