Exclusions & debarment

The disqualified-parties keystone — SAM.gov Exclusions (government-wide debarred, suspended, and ineligible parties) and the HHS-OIG LEIE (individuals and entities barred from Medicare, Medicaid, and all federal health-care programs), unified in one screening table. Ask "is CAGE 1ABC5 excluded?", "is NPI 1609410885 on the LEIE?", or "which parties in Nevada were excluded in 2024?" — the risk layer that joins back to every award, grant, and provider dataset.

Parties carry the cross-join keys that thread the collection: npi links NPPES providers, uei links contract awards / assistance / NIH grants, and cage_code links DLA micro-purchases. Match a barred party to a new award, a new formation, or a still-billing NPI.

Status & conduct: Flipped live 2026-07-31, verified against the production database with exact record-count parity to the pipeline's own synced total. Both sources are public federal exclusion registers (FAR 9.4 / 2 CFR 180 for SAM; SSA §§1128/1156 for the LEIE); SAM is fetched via its keyed public API, the LEIE via its published bulk CSV. The lists name individuals — that is the statutory purpose of an exclusion register — and we surface only the public screening fields. Date of birth is deliberately not ingested even though the LEIE source file carries it.
