The '''Trading Partner Identification Number''' (or '''TPIN''',) is a confidential number assigned to organizations which are or intend to be contractors[[contractor]]s to the [[Federal Government of the United States]]. It is issued by the [[Central Contractor Registry]] (CCR) of the [[Department of Defense]]. Contractors are consistently advised by CCR to treat the TPIN as if it were a password, and not to reveal it to others not directly involved in their business operations.

A T.P.I.N. is obtained by any organization that may need it via an [[Secure Sockets Layer|SSL]] connection over the Internet from the [https://www.ccr.gov CCR].
