The problem

Sound familiar? These are the challenges we hear from teams like yours.

1

Manual verification doesn't scale

Checking entity registration status, certifications, and exclusions one-by-one in SAM.gov is a bottleneck. You need real-time, programmatic verification.

2

Set-aside compliance is high stakes

Misrepresenting small business status or failing to verify subcontractor certifications can result in False Claims Act liability. The data has to be current.

3

Monitoring changes is reactive

Entity registrations expire, certifications change, exclusions get added. You find out after the fact instead of being proactively alerted.

How GovData Labs helps

Purpose-built API endpoints that solve these problems out of the box.

Entity Detail

Registration verification

Real-time entity lookups with registration status, expiration dates, CAGE codes, and UEI validation. Verify any entity instantly.

Entity Search

Certification validation

Query entities by certification type — 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB. Verify set-aside eligibility before it becomes a compliance issue.

Bulk Entity Fetch

Portfolio monitoring

Fetch up to 500 entities in a single request. Monitor your entire subcontractor portfolio for registration lapses or certification changes.

Verify subcontractor compliance

Python
# Verify a subcontractor's registration and certifications
entity = requests.get(
    "https://api.govdatalabs.com/api/v2/data/entities/JKLM456N7890",
    headers={"X-API-Key": API_KEY}
).json()

# Check registration status
is_active = entity["registration_status"] == "Active"
expires_soon = entity["expiration_date"] < "2025-06-01"

# Verify small business certification
certs = entity["certifications"]
is_small = certs["small_business"]
is_8a = certs["8a"]

print(f"Active: {is_active}")
print(f"Expires soon: {expires_soon}")
print(f"Small business: {is_small}")
print(f"8(a) certified: {is_8a}")
