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: Boeing agreed to pay $1,093,236 (a refund of the charges at issue plus interest) to settle allegations that it overbilled for materials used in installing new military aircraft engines. The settlement stems from an investigation into payment requests that Boeing made from 1998 to 2003, when Boeing allegedly double-billed for nuts, bolts, rivets and fasteners used in modernizing KC-135 Stratotankers and RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft.
