Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems (LMIS) paid $27.5 million to settle allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by knowingly overbilling the government for work performed by employees who lacked required job qualifications. The alleged mischarging occurred on the Rapid Response (CR2) contract and the Strategic Services Sourcing (S3) contract, both awarded by the U.S. Army Communication and Electronics Command (CECOM). LMIS allegedly violated the terms of the contracts by using under-qualified employees who were billed at the rates of more qualified employees.
