In a statement, U.S. Attorney David M. DeVillers announced the settlement agreement. “This office is committed to protecting taxpayer dollars and safeguarding the integrity of these programs so eligible companies receive a fair opportunity to contract with the Air Force.”
“One of the top investigative priorities of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations is to ensure the integrity of the Department of the Air Force’s procurement system, to include research and development programs,” said Paul W. Wachsmuth, Director, OSI Office of Procurement Fraud Investigations. “Any small business who seeks to participate in the SBIR program must do so with integrity.”
DeVillers was joined by the AFOSI Procurement Fraud Detachment 4 at Wright-Patterson AFB, and the Procurement Fraud Division of the Air Force Material Command Law Office in announcing the settlement. Assistant United States Attorneys Brandi M. Stewart and Andrew M. Malek represented the United States in this matter.
