Settlement Amount:
$6,500,000
A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against Vector Planning and Services Inc who is accused of inflating claims for payment under several Navy contracts.
The whistleblower in this case will receive $1.28 million.
The case was filed in 2012 and the complaint alleges that, from 2005 to 2009, VPSI inflated its indirect cost billings to the government by improperly including direct costs, for which it had already been paid, in indirect cost accounts that were then allocated across its government contracts and billed again. The government further alleged that VPSI submitted claims for other costs that were never incurred.
