SAM exclusions check
Check whether a vendor is excluded or debarred
Screen a vendor against public SAM.gov exclusions before contracting or payment. Search by UEI, CAGE code or legal name and review any active exclusion flags.
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 match the vendor's public registration identifiers rather than relying on a name alone.
Built for pre-award review
Use this as an early check before bid work, subcontractor onboarding, payment setup or renewal monitoring. Always confirm official findings in SAM.gov.
Common questions
How do I check if a vendor is debarred?+
Enter the vendor's UEI, CAGE code, or legal name. CageCheck flags active public SAM.gov exclusion records that match the entity identifiers.
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 no-match result means the public data did not show an active exclusion for that identifier. It is still prudent to confirm on SAM.gov for high-stakes awards or payments.
