At this time, FDA recognizes the Data Universal Numbering System D-U-N-S (DUNS) number
as an acceptable UFI. DUNS numbers are assigned and managed by Dun & Bradstreet.
However, as stated previously in this document, the requirement to submit a UFI will not begin
until October 1, 2020. If FDA recognizes as acceptable any additional UFIs before the October
1, 2020 date, we will update the response to this question.
