Fort Belvoir, Va. –
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (Booz Allen) agreed to pay the United States over $15 million to resolve allegations against Booz Allen’s subsidiary, Booz Allen Hamilton Engineering Services LLC (BES). DCAA Operations Investigative Support Division (OIS) investigative auditors worked in a coordinated effort to assist the case. Allegations stated multiple parties were involved in addition to Booz Allen and BES, including the co-owner and manager of a BES subcontractor, QuantaDyn Corporation.
Booz Allen and BES were alleged to knowingly submit fraudulent claims to the United States through task orders slated to supply computer military training simulators and systems to DoD agencies from 2016 to 2024. BES Program Managers knowingly schemed to improperly and illegally divulge confidential government contracting and budget information to influence task order awards. After successfully receiving the award, BES awarded the task orders to QuantaDyn.
DCAA OIS investigative auditors worked in a coordinated effort to assist the case. They performed analysis on the contractor’s profit data for travel costs related to the QuantaDyn modules and reviewed the contract and supporting documentations. OIS continued helping after the settlement by identifying the Foreign Military Sale modules contained within the settlement to support the Department of Justice recovery calculation.
