                   NONPROCUREMENT DEBARMENT UNDER CERTAIN CHILD 
                   NUTRITION PROGRAMS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) in recent years, there has been an alarming number of 
     instances of price-fixing and bid-rigging regarding foods 
     purchased for--
       (A) the school lunch program established under the National 
     School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.); and

     4 of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1773);
       (2) effective educational and monitoring programs can 
     greatly reduce the incidence of price-fixing and bid-rigging 
     by companies that sell products to schools;
       (3) reducing the incidence of price-fixing and bid-rigging 
     in connection with the school lunch and breakfast programs 
     could save school districts, parents, and taxpayers millions 
     of dollars per year; and
       (4) the Comptroller General of the United States has noted 
     that bid-rigging awareness training is an effective means of 
     deterring improper collusion and bid-rigging.

     relating to the possible debarment or for other good cause 
     (as determined by the Secretary), the Secretary may have such 
     additional time as the Secretary considers necessary to make 
     a decision, but not to exceed an additional 180 days.

     the interests of justice, as determined by the Secretary.
