Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) agreed to pay $1.35 million to resolve False Claims Act allegations of billing the government for workers lacking security clearances on a Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) contract. CSC was the prime contractor on the contract, and NetCracker Technology Corporation (a subsidiary of NEC Corporation) was the subcontractor. The government alleged that, from 2008 through 2013, NetCracker employed individuals without security clearances to perform work when it knew the contract required those individuals to have security clearances, resulting in CSC submitting false claims for payment to DISA. CSC provided the following statement to the Project On Government Oversight regarding the settlement: “On October 27, CSC reached a $1.35 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice in connection with a breach of CSC’s contract with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The settlement relates to improper actions taken by CSC’s directed subcontractor, NetCracker Technology Corporation/NetCracker Government Services Corp., which violated DISA’s security requirements under the contract. CSC believes it is as much a victim of NetCracker’s conduct as is our DISA customer and agreed to settle this case because the litigation costs outweigh those of the settlement. Security is of the utmost importance to CSC. We will continue to fully cooperate with the government regarding these and any other issues.”
