- eSRS — retired; no longer accepts ISR or SSR filings.
- SAM.gov Subcontracting Plan Reporting — current channel for prime contractors and subcontractors.
- Individual Subcontract Reports (ISR) and Summary Subcontract Reports (SSR) are filed through SAM.gov Subcontracting Plan Reporting.
eSRS vs SAM.gov Subcontracting Plan Reporting
The Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) retired in February 2026. Individual Subcontract Reports (ISR) and Summary Subcontract Reports (SSR) now file through SAM.gov Subcontracting Plan Reporting. The reports themselves did not go away — the portal changed.
What changed in February 2026
eSRS shut down; ISR and SSR moved to SAM.gov.
Side-by-side: eSRS vs SAM.gov
Same report types — new login, roles, and workflows in SAM.gov.
| Topic | eSRS (retired) | SAM.gov (current) |
|---|---|---|
| ISR / SSR filing | esrs.gov portal | SAM.gov Subcontracting Plan Reporting |
| User access | Separate eSRS accounts | SAM.gov entity roles and permissions |
| Data requirements | Subcontract dollars by category, UEIs | Same categories — confirm current SAM.gov instructions |
| Good-faith effort evidence | Supporting detail when goals not met | Still expected — organize sourcing data before filing |
What primes should do now
Confirm SAM.gov roles, gather ISR data, and keep outreach records current.
- Assign SAM.gov entity roles for users who will submit ISR/SSR reports.
- Read the current filing instructions on SAM.gov before each reporting period.
- Gather subcontract award data with correct UEIs and category tags — see ISR checklist and SSR checklist.
- Keep outreach records organized per PIID — ISR & SSR data prep explains how SamMatch helps without filing for you.
How SamMatch fits the new workflow
SamMatch preps sourcing data — you still file in SAM.gov.
SamMatch does not submit ISR or SSR reports. It helps compliance teams maintain requirement-level sourcing data — which certified small businesses were identified, outreach timestamps, and category tags — so the SAM.gov transition is data prep, not reconstruction. See SAM.gov subcontracting plan reporting guide and subcontracting plan compliance.
Disclaimer
Confirm current SAM.gov rules — this is not legal advice.
SamMatch organizes subcontractor sourcing, outreach, and category data to support ISR and SSR preparation. Official reports are submitted through SAM.gov. SamMatch does not make legal or compliance determinations.
