Do the Exclusion Archives on SAM.gov Violate Contractors' Liberty Interest?
Sep.29.2016
The suspension and debarment remedies are not meant to punish contractors for past misdeeds, yet information about past exclusions is stored indefinitely on the SAM.gov website, and this information is increasingly causing collateral consequences outside the government marketplace.

Associate Laura Baker (not admitted in the District of Columbia, practice supervised by partners of the firm) also contributed to this alert.
