Screen any list of subcontractors or vendors against the SAM.gov exclusions (debarment) list and check each one's SAM registration status and expiry — in one run, with a clean, timestamped report you can keep as an audit record.
Built for government contractors (primes, mid-size GovCon firms, grant recipients) who are required to screen vendors before teaming and re-verify on a schedule. Missing an excluded vendor can mean penalties up to $100,000 per item plus treble damages — this turns that scary, recurring chore into a 30-second check.
⚖️ This is a screening aid, not legal advice. It surfaces official SAM.gov data plus an audit timestamp. Always confirm a potential match by UEI on SAM.gov before acting on it. You own the final decision.

The API and the data are free; you only pay this actor's per-vendor run fee.
How it works
For each vendor we call SAM.gov's official Exclusions API and Entity Management API (no scraping, no anti-bot fragility), normalize company-name variants (Inc/LLC/Ltd etc.), classify the risk, and write one tidy row with the audit timestamp. Exact-name exclusion hits are flagged EXCLUDED; partial hits are flagged REVIEW so a human can verify by UEI.
Pricing
Pay-per-result: a small fee per vendor screened. Re-run monthly to stay compliant — most teams screen the same vendor list every billing cycle, so it's recurring by nature.
Compliance & fair use
Uses only public SAM.gov data via the official API. This tool helps you find and document potential exclusions and registration lapses; it does not make eligibility determinations and is not legal advice. Confirm matches on SAM.gov before relying on them.
