SAM.gov Entity Exclusions Scraper

What does SAM.gov Entity Exclusions Scraper do?

SAM.gov Entity Exclusions Scraper extracts public exclusion records from SAM.gov and turns them into structured rows. Use it to screen vendors, subcontractors, grant recipients, or business partners for active and historical exclusion records. The actor reads the public SAM.gov search API and saves normalized fields such as entity name, UEI, CAGE code, program, type, excluding agency, status, dates, address, and source URLs.

• ✅ Structured SAM.gov exclusion records
• ✅ Active, inactive, or all-status workflows
• ✅ Compliance-friendly identifiers and source URLs

Who is it for?

Procurement teams can check suppliers before award. Government contractors can screen subcontractors before bid submission. Compliance teams can monitor excluded parties. Vendor-risk teams can enrich onboarding workflows. Data providers can add SAM.gov exclusion status to business datasets.

Why use it?

The SAM.gov website is useful for manual searches, but repeatable screening requires structured output. This actor gives you API-ready JSON, CSV, Excel, or dataset exports that can be scheduled, monitored, and integrated with risk systems.

What data can you extract?

Each dataset item represents one SAM.gov exclusion record. Fields include identifiers, exclusion status, exclusion program, exclusion type, excluding agency, activation date, termination date, address, SAM source URL, API URL, scrape timestamp, and optional raw metadata.

Tips for reliable results

Start with active exclusions and a small maxItems value. Use a keyword or identifier when you need a targeted entity check. Use includeRaw only when your audit workflow needs the original SAM.gov metadata.

Integrations

Schedule the actor daily to monitor active exclusions. Export datasets to Google Sheets, S3, webhooks, or your vendor master database. Trigger it from procurement onboarding when a new supplier is created.

FAQ

Can I scrape inactive exclusions? Yes, set activeStatus to inactive or all. Can I filter by agency? Yes, use agencies such as OPM; filtering is applied to returned records. Why are some fields empty? SAM.gov records vary and not every entity has a CAGE code, termination date, or full address.

• ✅ Compliance-friendly identifiers and source URLs

Troubleshooting

If you receive fewer records than expected, remove optional filters or increase maxItems. If a targeted entity is missing, try searching by UEI, CAGE code, or a shorter name keyword.
