Frequently asked questions

Can Tap Root Dairy, 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?

In the SAM.gov exclusions search, the official source. DataCloud USA updates it daily.
