SAM.gov lists what agencies report, and only exclusions in effect: those that ended are known from twice-yearly snapshots, so an end date is approximate. Agencies may award to an excluded party with a documented compelling reason. An exclusion is an administrative measure, not a conviction.

Primes report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more themselves, and many go unreported (GAO-24-106214). Reporting moved from FSRS to SAM.gov in March 2025 and fewer sub-contracts have been reported since. Amounts are what primes reported; they are never added to prime award totals.
