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.

Misconduct Type: Non-governmental Contract Fraud

Enforcement Agency: Non-Governmental

Contracting Party: Non-Governmental

Court Type: Civil

Amount: $12,800,000

Disposition: Judgment Against Defendant

Synopsis: Lockheed Sanders and Lockheed Martin Federal Systems paid damages related to bidding for a Boeing contract for breach of contract (in a teaming agreement with Cable & Computer Technology) and violating Unfair Business Practices and the Cartwright Act. “A jury has determined that Sanders, a subsidiary of Lockheed, entered into a contract with CCT to team in making a bid to Boeing for the computer upgrade on the B-1B bomber project of the Air Force. That contract was no mere agreement to agree. It was found by the district court to have 'no missing terms.' In the course of the contract Sanders supplied information on CCT’s pricing to Owego, another Lockheed subsidiary also bidding on the Boeing project. Less than two weeks before the bid was due, Sanders broke its contract with CCT, leaving it without a partner or time to find one.” See 2002 U.S. App. LEXIS 24501
