ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. (BAH), located in McLean, agreed to pay $422,557 to settle allegations that a BAH employee assigned to work on a General Services Administration (GSA) contract overreported his time resulting in BAH issuing invoices for services under the contract that were not performed.
Between 2018 and 2022, GSA paid invoices submitted by BAH that included services for a BAH employee under a GSA contract. Investigators from GSA and the Defense Intelligence Agency compared invoices and timesheets for the employee with the employee’s badge swipe data for entering and exiting the secure facility where the contract was performed to determine the number of overcharged hours attributable to the employee. As a result, the government alleged that BAH billed for services that the employee did not provide. BAH agreed to settle allegations for common law claims of payment by mistake and unjust enrichment.
This investigation was initiated when BAH made a contractor disclosure. BAH received credit under the Department of Justice’s guidelines for taking disclosure, cooperation, and remediation into account.
The resolution obtained in this matter was the result of a coordinated effort between the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia and The Offices of the Inspector General for both General Services Administration and the Defense Intelligence Agency. The matter was investigated by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew J. Troy.
The civil claims settled by this agreement are allegations only; there has been no admission of civil liability.
