Air Force Overbilling
EG&G Technical Services, Inc., a subsidiary of URS Corp, paid over $1.7 million to settle a False Claims Act lawsuit accusing it of overbilling the U.S. Air Force for aircraft parts and services. It was alleged that, between 1997 and 2004, EG&G employee Richard Thomas Barkley effected a scheme with aircraft parts company Danco Aerospace Consulting, Inc., in which EG&G paid Danco for more than $776,000 in parts that were already in inventory or were never delivered, then submitted more than $860,000 in fraudulent bills to the Air Force. EG&G did not admit any wrongdoing as part of the settlement in the case. Barkley pleaded guilty in 2007 to conspiracy, theft of government funds, and money laundering, and was sentenced to 37 months in prison.
