sam_search_exclusions

Pack: samgov · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/samgov/mcp

Search the SAM.gov Exclusions list — parties DEBARRED, suspended, or otherwise excluded from receiving federal contracts, grants, or assistance. Answers “is this company/person barred from federal contracting” for KYB / vendor-vetting / procurement due diligence. Filter by name, US state, and classification (Firm / Individual / Vessel / Special Entity). Returns each excluded party with the exclusion type, program, excluding agency, and active/termination dates. Distinct from OFAC sanctions (see sanctions_screen) — this is the federal procurement debarment list.
