Public-records evidence platform
Federal procurement, as the public record actually states it
The federal government publishes who it has excluded from contracting (SAM.gov), every prime award it signs (USASpending.gov), and integrity records on large contractors (FAPIIS). These datasets are public and free, but they live in separate systems and are hard to cross-check against one another over time. This silo joins them on the Unique Entity ID (UEI) spine and keeps a dated history, so a fact can be re-derived exactly as it stood on the day it mattered.
We report exact regulatory facts only— a registration status, an exclusion's active window, an award's signed date. We never publish a derived “risk” score or label an entity, and every record carries a link to confirm current status at the official source.
What this silo is built on
Studies
Federal Suspension & Debarment Scorecard →
Every active record in the SAM.gov Exclusions registry, ranked by the agency that issued it, with breakdowns by exclusion type, classification, and activation year. Aggregate counts only — reproducible from the published SQL.
The Leakage Report — Federal Contracts Awarded During Active Exclusion Periods →
Reconstructs the active exclusion window for each confirmed entity and finds prime awards whose signed date fell inside it. Stated strictly as two dated facts — the award's signed date and the exclusion's active window — and fully reproducible from the published SQL.
Look up a contractor
Federal contractor records — exclusions & awards by entity →
One canonical record per entity, keyed to its 12-character Unique Entity ID (UEI) — the SAM.gov exclusion records and USASpending.gov prime awards on file, as dated facts. For programmatic checks, the procurement screening API returns the same reconciled facts by UEI or CAGE, each source-stamped.
Program guides
8(a) certification, explained →
The plain rules of the SBA's 8(a) Business Development program — who qualifies, how to apply, the nine-year term, and how a SAM.gov exclusion or debarment ends eligibility. Sourced to sba.gov and 13 CFR Part 124, and dated.
Federal contracting questions, answered
Federal contracting questions, answered from the public record →
Plain, source-stamped answers to the questions people ask about federal contractors — who is excluded, what a UEI or CAGE code is, how suspension differs from debarment, and whether a debarred company can still win an award. Each answer is built from SAM.gov, USASpending, and the FAR, with a source and date on every fact.
