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: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a suit against Raytheon subsidiary Raytheon Technical Services, alleging that the company "failed to hire charging party as a painter when it became the new contractor at the military base because of his race, black." When it became apparent that the painter had more experience than the other painters that were hired, "the parties resolved the case through a consent decree providing $165,000 to charging party."
