How ezOIG screens in South Dakota

In every state, ezOIG screens the federal lists: the HHS-OIG exclusion list (LEIE), SAM.gov exclusions and the OFAC sanctions list.

ezOIG does not screen any of South Dakota's own registries yet.

4 registries the rules name are not screened by ezOIG yet. Each is listed below with the reason, so you know which to check another way.

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry blocks automated access
The registry's website turns away automated lookups. We don't work around that, so for now your staff search it themselves.
The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
Paid access
The agency charges for access, and ezOIG doesn't include it yet.
