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.

Synopsis: Dr. Margo Fitzpatrick, a partner and 11-year veteran of Booz Allen Hamilton, filed a lawsuit claiming she was a victim of sex discrimination and that she was fired in retaliation for objecting to discriminatory behavior. The lawsuit, which names four senior male executives as defendants, alleges that Booz Allen’s corporate leadership maintains a “glass ceiling” that excludes women from the highest-ranking positions. The lawsuit further alleges that male executives are routinely given preferential treatment and perks that help position them for advancement.
