SRA International Inc., Galaxy Scientific Corp. (GSC), Galaxy Technology LLC, and Engineering Integrated Services L.L.C. agreed to pay roughly  $1.1 million to resolve allegations they violated the False Claims Act through GSC’s use of shell affiliates to improperly induce the government to fund and award task orders, disguise actual costs, misrepresent what work was actually performed, and capture unlawful profit with respect to certain military contract.  The allegations originated in a whistleblower lawsuit filed by former GSC contracting officer John Carr under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act.  He will receive a whistleblower award of roughly $250,000 from the proceeds of the government’s recovery.  DOJ (DNJ)
