Dun & Bradstreet Business Profile

How to Obtain

Businesses can claim and update their D&B profile at dnb.com. Basic profiles are available at no cost, while enhanced monitoring and credit-building services require paid subscriptions. Companies should ensure their D&B data (revenue, employees, address, trade references) is accurate, as contracting officers may access this information during pre-award surveys.

Contracting Relevance

D&B credit scores and financial data may be reviewed during contractor responsibility determinations under FAR Part 9. A strong D&B profile can support a finding of financial responsibility, while negative data (liens, judgments, poor payment history) may raise concerns. Surety companies also use D&B data when underwriting performance and payment bonds required on construction contracts.

Requirements

• DUNS number (for legacy profile linkage)
• Accurate financial and business data
• Trade references for credit score building
• Regular monitoring for accuracy
