Maryland-based MassTech, Inc. along with its former CEO and CFO have agreed to pay $1.9 million to resolve allegations that the company violated the False Claims Act by falsely certifying it was a small business concern in order to obtain Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) awards. According to the government, MassTech falsely represented to NSF, NASA, and HHS that it was an eligible small business concern at the time of its SBIR application and throughout the lifecycle of the award and as a result the government approved and funded SBIR awards to MassTech that it otherwise would not have received.
