Purpose: This topic provides instructions on setting the Exempt Award indicator in G5. This step allows program office staff to obligate funds for awards when the grantee UEI is inactive in SAM.gov. Marking an award exempt automatically adds Route Payment flag to the award so all payment requests submitted by the payee will need to be approved or rejected by the program office until the exemption is removed.
