What was EPLS, and where are federal exclusions now?

EPLS was the Excluded Parties List System, a former federal surface for parties excluded from government transactions. Federal exclusion records are now searched through SAM.gov. Each current record is source scoped to an excluding agency, action type, and dates; an absent result does not establish universal eligibility, clearance, or identity.
