Top Reasons Contractors Are Excluded from SAM.gov And How to Avoid It

 


Contractors aiming to win federal contracts or grants must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). But what many don’t realize is that thousands of businesses are excluded from SAM every year due to common, preventable mistakes.

Here are the top reasons contractors get excluded from SAM — and how you can prevent it:

  • Inaccurate Reps and Certs: If you submit incorrect socioeconomic or business information, you may be flagged for fraud.

  • Contract Non-Performance: Not fulfilling contract terms or delivering subpar results can lead to suspension.

  • Criminal Convictions or Legal Judgments: Fraud or ethics violations directly related to federal work can result in immediate debarment.

  • Missed Renewals and Expired Registrations: Not renewing your SAM registration on time or letting it lapse opens you up to automatic removal.

  • UEI/CAGE Code Conflicts: Errors in entity identification data can trigger exclusion warnings.

At Federal Processing Registry, we offer a $599 full-service package that includes:

  • New SAM registration or annual renewal

  • Reps and Certs audit and update

  • CAGE code and UEI validation

  • Profile monitoring and compliance reminders

We protect your eligibility, help you avoid costly mistakes, and keep your profile compliant throughout the year.

📞 Call 866-717-5267 or visit FederalProcessingRegistry.com to protect your SAM status.
