The Department of Justice Antitrust Division has alleged that a contractor conspired to rig bids and defraud the federal government in connection with maintenance, repair, and operations projects for Department of Defense facilities. According to the information, the defendant and co-conspirators coordinated what were supposedly competitive bids for projects at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia and Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, including healthcare facility projects for the 23rd Medical Group at Moody and a storage equipment project at Nellis. The government alleges that the conspirators exchanged pricing information, submitted collusive quotes through prime contractors in the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA) MRO procurement program, concealed the bid rigging from DLA, and caused DLA to approve funding and payments based on the rigged bidding process.
