Individual Verification:

Check GSA's Debarment List for the Individual's Name
Federal agencies and lending institutions are required to check the GSA's Lists of Parties Excluded From Federal Procurement or Nonprocurement Programs prior to making an award or conferring a benefit.

Important Note: The clearinghouse does not determine who is placed on the list. It simply places people on the list as provided by the sentencing courts.

Check Agency and Cause and Treatment Codes
Agency and Cause and Treatment codes are listed immediately following the individual's data. Contact the clearinghouse if the agency listed is DOJ, and the Cause and Treatment code is AA, BB, or FF. If the agency is not DOJ, refer to the Agency Contact List on the EPLS web site for further instructions.

Complete the Request Form and Fax It
Print a verification request form (PDF or ASCII), fill it out, and fax it to the clearinghouse at 301-937-1543. To reach a clearinghouse processor, call 301-937-1542.

The clearinghouse is staffed Monday through Fridays (except for federal holidays) from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
