Federal Vendor Risk Lookup

Paste a SAM UEI. See exclusion status, address-cluster signals, name-variant matches, and coordinated-enforcement membership from the federal public record.

Compliance & Procurement

Vetting a subcontractor

Before signing a teaming agreement or issuing a purchase order, check whether the vendor is on the federal exclusion list and whether anything in the public record suggests caution.

Proposal & BD

Checking a teaming partner

Joining a proposal as a sub or prime? Verify your partner isn't debarred and isn't tied to entities the SDO has acted against. Bid-eligibility risk surfaces fast.

Research & Investigation

Tracing a federal vendor

Journalists, FCA attorneys, and analysts use the same signals to map procurement networks: address clusters, name variants, and same-day enforcement waves the SDO acted on.

What this lookup checks

Seven signals derived from SAM.gov public data. Every signal is observable in the federal record; we just compose them into one query.

Exclusion status — is the UEI on the federal exclusion list right now

Address cluster — other excluded entities at the same registered address

Name-variant cluster — excluded entities whose name normalizes to the same key (LLC vs Inc., & vs and)

Individual exclusions at address — named individuals on the exclusion list at the same address

Coordinated-wave membership — same-day, same-agency enforcement actions against multiple entities

Last-award-to-debarment timing — how many days between the vendor's last federal award and their exclusion

Dual CAGE codes — multiple CAGE codes on one UEI (legitimate multi-facility vendor or registration irregularity)

Methodology in one paragraph

Built on three public federal sources: the SAM.gov exclusions database (every debarred and suspended entity), SAM.gov entity registrations (the contractor record), and SAM.gov opportunity announcements (award history). We normalize names (stripping LLC / Co. / Inc. / Company / Corp / Ltd / & vs and), compare addresses with whitespace + case normalized, and group exclusion records by same-day same-agency action to surface coordinated enforcement waves. The triage verdict (high / elevated / needs review / clean / unknown) is computed mechanically from those signals; the rules are visible in triage.reasons on every result and you can override by reading the underlying signals yourself.

What this is NOT: a global sanctions list (OFAC, UN, EU), beneficial-ownership data, adverse media, or a prediction of future risk. We cover the US federal exclusion layer specifically. For broader compliance scope, use a dedicated tool like Refinitiv or LexisNexis.

Signals derive from the public federal record. They describe relationships and timing only and don't establish wrongdoing. Exclusion is an administrative action, not a criminal conviction. The triage verdict is mechanical and visible in triage.reasons; review the underlying signals before acting.
