# Contractors Screen Subcontractors Before Award

A promoted screening tool lets users check subcontractors before award by entering a UEI or CAGE code. The tool is described as checking registration status and expiration, linked exclusions, and possible screening-list matches, with a source and date for each finding. The signal cautions that a name match alone is not a verdict.

- Procurement teams can use UEI or CAGE identifiers to conduct pre-award checks and review the dated evidence behind each result.
- Contractors should investigate potential matches and confirm the underlying facts rather than treating a name match as a confirmed exclusion.
- The signal does not identify the tool provider, specific government agency, contract, or solicitation.
