The notice provides links for users to try searching again, return to the home page, or contact the Federal Help Desk if issues persist.
What changed
The General Services Administration (GSA) issued a notice indicating that the Entity Exclusions database on SAM.gov was unavailable. This means that users could not access debarment and suspension information, which is critical for government contractors performing due diligence.
While the notice does not specify a resolution timeline or impact on ongoing procurements, it directs users to try searching again, visit the SAM.gov home page, or contact the Federal Help Desk for assistance. Regulated entities that rely on SAM.gov for exclusion checks should be aware of this temporary disruption and may need to implement alternative due diligence procedures if the outage is prolonged.
What to do next
- Monitor SAM.gov for updates on system availability.
- If performing critical due diligence, consider alternative methods for checking entity exclusions if the outage is prolonged.
