The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced a nearly $2 million settlement with Virginia-based contractor Intelligent Waves LLC, resolving claims that the company knowingly sold unauthorized equipment to the Air Force and billed for undelivered products. The agreement, totaling $1.95 million, settles allegations brought under the False Claims Act (FCA) in connection with two separate Air Force contracts.
The case originated from a lawsuit filed in December 2022 by two former Intelligent Waves employees under the FCA’s whistleblower provision. Their claims prompted a federal investigation that unearthed alleged contractual violations spanning two major Air Force contracts.
In September 2019, Intelligent Waves secured an $89.2 million contract to provide crowdsourced flight data collection support and data analytics to the 59th Test and Evaluation Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. However, according to the DOJ, the company knowingly sold unapproved equipment under the contract, misrepresenting it as authorized in submitted invoices.
