About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Overcharging the National Imagery and Mapping Agency
Date: 04/22/2002 (Date of Announcement)
Misconduct Type: Cost/Labor Mischarge
Enforcement Agency: Multiple Agencies
Contracting Party: Defense - General
Court Type: Civil
Amount: $530,000
Disposition: Settlement
Synopsis: In April 2002, Lockheed Martin Services, Inc. agreed to pay $530,000 to settle allegations that it overcharged the government for information technology services. A government investigation determined that, between October 1, 1998 and November 19, 2001, Lockheed billed the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) for the work of approximately 23 employees who did not meet the minimum qualifications for their positions. Thus, the government claimed, Lockheed billed for their services at a higher rate than was permitted.
