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: In April 2007, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency temporarily suspended AmerisourceBergen's Orlando, Fla., distribution center's license to distribute DEA-controlled substances and listed chemicals. The DEA claimed AmerisourceBergen did not maintain effective controls against diversion of controlled substances, specifically hydrocodone, to four Internet pharmacies between January 2006 and January 2007. In June 2007, AmerisourceBergen signed an agreement with the DEA that will lead to the distribution center's reinstatement in August.
