gov.exclusions

Check whether a person or company is excluded (debarred or suspended) from receiving US federal contracts, grants, or assistance — the SAM.gov Exclusions list. Search by name (person or entity), ueiSAM, cageCode, and/or classificationType (Individual, Firm, Vessel, Special Entity Designation); page with limit (1-100). Returns each exclusion with the excluded name, classification, exclusion type and program, the excluding agency, UEI, activation and termination dates, and address — plus a total match count. Data: SAM.gov exclusions, free and public-domain. Distinct from /api/law/sanctions-check (OFAC sanctions) — this is federal procurement debarment. Use for vendor onboarding, grant eligibility, and counterparty due diligence; pair with /api/gov/entity and /api/law/sanctions-check.

Code samples

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/gov/exclusions?name=xx&ueiSAM=xxxxxxxxxxxx&cageCode=xxx&classificationType=Individual&limit=10'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/gov/exclusions?name=xx&ueiSAM=xxxxxxxxxxxx&cageCode=xxx&classificationType=Individual&limit=10' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):
#   EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node --env-file=.env.local \
#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/gov/exclusions?name=xx&ueiSAM=xxxxxxxxxxxx&cageCode=xxx&classificationType=Individual&limit=10'
