SAM exclusions check
Resolve the vendor, then verify exclusions on SAM.gov
Start with the exact UEI, CAGE code or legal name. The result labels whether exclusions coverage was actually checked; complete consequential screening in the official SAM.gov exclusions search.
SAM.gov registration and renewal are FREE at sam.gov. The U.S. Government never charges you to register, renew, or update a SAM.gov registration.
CageCheck is an independent, privately operated service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Government, the General Services Administration (GSA), SAM.gov, or any government agency. The official registry is at sam.gov.
Identifier-first screening
UEI and CAGE searches reduce false positives because they identify the vendor record before you run the separate official exclusions search.
Built for pre-award review
Use this as the identity step before bid work, onboarding or payment setup. An unavailable exclusions source is never treated as a green check; always confirm in SAM.gov.
Complete the official exclusions search
Copy the exact UEI or CAGE from the result and use it in SAM.gov's public Exclusions filters. Read the full record and confirm the identity before acting on a potential match.
Open official SAM.gov exclusions search →Common questions
How do I check if a vendor is debarred?+
Resolve the vendor's exact UEI or CAGE here, then search that identifier in the official SAM.gov exclusions tool. CageCheck flags a match only when a verified exclusions source was actually checked.
Does a match mean I cannot use the vendor?+
Treat a match as a stop-and-review signal, not legal advice. Confirm the official SAM.gov exclusion record and consult your procurement or legal process before acting.
What if there are no exclusions?+
A blank entity snapshot is not a no-match. CageCheck only presents a clear exclusions result when coverage is explicitly available; otherwise the result card tells you to verify on official SAM.gov.
