Is EPLS the same or similar list as the OIG, ECHO, LDP and FACIS?
The EPLS database located at http://www.epls.gov is a Federal government system maintained by GSA as required by FAR Subpart 9.4 and Executive Orders 12549 and 12689. EPLS data is received and maintained by Federal debarring/excluding agencies only. A federal agency may maintain an internal agency system similar to EPLS. However, the EPLS database maintained by GSA is the official government-wide system of records of debarments, suspensions and other exclusionary actions. EPLS is not a subset of or a supplement to any other system. GSA cannot guarantee the accuracy of data provided by other systems. Therefore, GSA officials do not respond to inquiries retrieved from other systems. Users obtaining data from systems other than the official GSA EPLS database should contact the owner of that system for data verification and support.
