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: Lockheed settled a case involving violations of the Truth in Negotiations Act, 10 U.S.C. § 2306a, and the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, et seq. “The qui tam suit accused Lockheed Martin of deliberately inflating the cost of four contracts for the purchase of navigation and targeting pods for military jets.

Government contractors are required by the Truth in Negotiations Act to provide accurate and complete cost data to government contract negotiators.”
