Agency comments

Mark E. Johnson entered into a plea agreement with the United States and has plead guilty to violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(3) by making false statements regarding his federal crop insurance policies to the federal government. The plea agreement provides that Johnson (including, his spouse (if applicable); his assigns; and any entity in which he is a principal or has a controlling interest) are permanently excluded from participating in any U.S. Department of Agriculture farm program, including programs administered by the Risk Management Agency and the Farm Service Agency. Springbrook Grain Farms, LLC is permanently excluded pursuant to Johnson's plea agreement. For further information contact the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agency Exclusions POC.

Frequently asked questions

Can Springbrook Farms 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.
