What happens if there are multiple DUNS numbers for a single location? How do sponsors determine which number is appropriate to use?
DUNS Number assignment is based upon site specific information for each distinct physical location of an entity (such as branches, divisions, and headquarters). In some cases, unique and separate entities may be operating out of the same location (i.e. the same physical address). An example of this could be at a doctors office or law firm where each professional may have his/her own business entity that would correspond to their own unique and separate DUNS Number. Another example of this could occur with a large, multi-national organization that may have several different business operating units located in the same primary location. For example, the Johnson & Johnson headquarter office located at 1 Johnson & Johnson Plaza, New Brunswick, NJ, 08933 has several different operating units/divisions (each with their own DUNS Number) located at the headquarter location (Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson International, Johnson & Johnson Services Inc, Depuy Inc, etc). In both circumstance
