SAM.gov exclusion and debarment checks.
SAM.gov is where the federal government records exclusions and debarments across agencies; OIG actions appear here, along with others. Healthcare employers often pair SAM with LEIE, and government contractors treat SAM as the list.
Also called SAM search, GSA debarment, System for Award Management.

What it covers
Active exclusions and debarments in SAM, including actions that never appear on LEIE- A second federal net for healthcare employers who already run OIG
LEIE is HHS and SAM is the government-wide system — they are not one database. A responsible healthcare package queries both, or an aggregation like FACIS that includes both plus states, and vID binds the person so a similar-name debarment does not reject the wrong clinician.
What it covers
- Active exclusions and debarments in SAM, including actions that never appear on LEIE
- A second federal net for healthcare employers who already run OIG
What it doesn’t cover
Replace LEIE when policy names it; query both or use a documented aggregation- Cover state Medicaid exclusion lists
- Remain current without a cadence
Where the data comes from.
SAM.gov exclusions
The official U.S. government debarment system.
Why identity comes first.
Debarment files are not biometric. Bound identity first, then the name match, then human review of what remains.
How the network fulfills it.
SAM is a standard healthcare CRA line item. If a partner can run OIG, they can almost certainly run SAM, and we order both when the package says both.
This is the wrong search if…
You already buy FACIS at a level that includes SAM and you documented that
Then you may not need a standalone SAM query. Read the level before paying twice.
Commonly ordered with.
- OIG LEIE exclusion screening
The HHS-specific list that policies often name by itself.
- FACIS healthcare sanctions
When you want federal plus state in one aggregation.
- Exclusion monitoring
Debarments happen after hire day too.

Who orders this
Frequently asked questions.
LEIE is HHS. SAM is the government.
If your counsel says “OIG/SAM,” they mean both. We will run both, on a bound identity, on a cadence if you ask.
