“Fonteum is a public-records evidence platform that organizes supported records with the source, date, and citation metadata available on each surface. Every vertical rolls up under the one Fonteum master brand.”
“No. It is a co-occurrence of two dated facts — the award's signed date and the exclusion's active window. Some are lawful (pre-existing obligations or a documented compelling-reason determination). Fonteum makes no finding of wrongdoing and assigns no score; confirm each case at SAM.gov.”
“Only on a confirmed exact key — the recipient's UEI, or its CAGE for CAGE-keyed exclusion rows. Name-only matches are held and never asserted. An exclusion with no published activation date is treated as indeterminate and never reported as active.”
“Yes. Searching the SAM.gov exclusions list is free and needs no account. Entity registration and some advanced features differ, but the public exclusions search is open to anyone.”
“On a fixed cadence appropriate to the obligation, because exclusions are added and lifted daily. A one-time no-match can change; many programs re-screen monthly. Fonteum's procurement screen returns dated records when coverage is current, and an indeterminate result rather than a clearance when coverage cannot be reconciled.”
“Because it changes daily and the right denominator is ambiguous — exclusion records versus distinct active parties differ, and many records are terminated. Fonteum publishes dated, reproducible facts rather than a standing total that would be stale the next day. SAM.gov is the live system of record.”
“On the SAM.gov exclusions list, the consolidated government-wide record. Suspension and debarment officials across agencies enter exclusions there, and contracting officers are directed to check it before award.”
“Not by itself. Some exclusions follow misconduct findings; others are statutory or precautionary. An exclusion is an eligibility status, and Fonteum reports it as a dated fact tied to SAM.gov — never as a determination of wrongdoing.”
