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.

KBR

McBride v. Halliburton (False Claims Act)

Date: 04/26/2005 (Date of Filing)

Misconduct Type: Government Contract Fraud

Enforcement Agency: Non-Governmental

Contracting Party: Defense - Army

Court Type: Civil

Amount: $0

Disposition: Pending

Synopsis: Julie McBride, who worked in Iraq for Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR), alleges in a False Claims Act lawsuit that KBR overcharged the government by deliberately inflating the number of soldiers using a Morale, Welfare and Recreation (“MWR”) facility in Fallujah. In a July 2007 order, the court denied McBride’s attempt to expand her lawsuit by adding more plaintiff-relators and misconduct claims. The federal government declined to intervene in the lawsuit; therefore, McBride will proceed on behalf of the government on her own.
