Exclusions & screening
SAM.gov exclusions
Not yet checked against SAM.gov exclusions.
Agencies generally may not award to excluded parties, and primes may not subcontract with them above the threshold in FAR 52.209-6 (except COTS items) without a compelling reason reported to the contracting officer (FAR 9.405, 9.405-2). Some exclusion types apply only to specific programs: read the record on SAM.gov.

Consolidated Screening List
No confirmed match on the Consolidated Screening List (screened Nov 13, 2026).
The list combines Commerce, State and Treasury export-control and sanctions lists. A “no match” result is a name-and-address screen, not an export-compliance determination.

SAM.gov reports this entity as small under 2 of 4 NAICS codes. Size is determined per code (SBA size standards).
Socio-economic status
Self-represented in SAM.gov. WOSB and EDWOSB set-asides need SBA certification (13 CFR 127.300); SDVOSB and VOSB need SBA VetCert (13 CFR part 128). Confirm current certification before relying on it.

Business development contact

Corporate hierarchy
No parent entity reported in SAM.gov.
SBA counts affiliates when it determines whether a business is small (13 CFR 121.103), so a parent’s size can matter for set-aside work.
