Agency comments

Debarment was proposed because on September 1, 2020, Channing Strother (STROTHER), Chief Administrative Law Judge, issued a U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) order to CMF (for CMF’s failure to pay assessments from 2017 to 2019) to pay $89,246.55 to the Mushroom Council and $5,000 to the Treasurer of the United States. On November 9, 2021, STROTHER issued a USDA order for CMF’s failure to pay assessments from January 2020 to November 2020, and he ordered CMF to pay $24,812.53 to the Mushroom Council and $5,000 to the Treasurer of the United States. CMF’s ongoing failure to pay debts owed to the government or instrumentally the Mushroom Council, misconduct for failing to pay required assessments, failure to maintain records, and report required information to the Mushroom Council on eleven occasions established causes debarment governmentwide debarment under 2 C.F.R. § 180.800(d), as this misconduct constituted a cause of so serious or compelling nature as to affect present responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

Can Colorado Mushroom Farm, LLC keep performing its current contracts?

Generally, an exclusion bars new awards but does not automatically cancel existing contracts: the agency decides whether to continue them. They cannot be extended or renewed without approval.

Can an excluded company be used as a subcontractor?

Prime contractors should not subcontract to excluded parties above certain thresholds without notifying and justifying it to the agency. That is why SAM.gov should be checked before choosing partners.

Where is the exclusion status confirmed?
