Index Systems, Inc. and Capital Consulting Group, Inc. (CCG), two government contractors in Virginia, have agreed to pay nearly $1.2 million to settle allegations of violating the False Claims Act and Anti-Kickback Act.  In order to fraudulently obtain Small Business Administration contracts reserved for businesses owned by socially or economically disadvantaged citizens, CCG—which was not eligible—allegedly conspired with Index to use Index’s certification to bid on the contracts, in exchange for kickbacks.  USAO EDVA
