Check UEI Against Exclusions List
Vendor-risk screening lookup: pass a UEI SAM and find out whether that entity is on the current SAM exclusions list.
This is a current-state list, not a history. It is refreshed as a full replace of what SAM publishes today, so an exclusion that has already been terminated is absent entirely rather than returned as expired. A 404 means 'not on the list now', not 'never excluded'.
Response semantics
- 200 — entity IS on the exclusions list. Body contains the full record.
- 404 — UEI is not on the exclusions list. This is the expected answer for the vast majority of legitimate vendors and means the entity is clean.
Coverage caveat: roughly 73% of SAM exclusions are individuals or small entities without a UEI. A 404 here means no UEI-keyed exclusion; to also screen against name-based debarments (e.g. principals, officers, individuals), pair this lookup with /api/v1/exclusions/search?entity_name=....
