On January 20, 2010, President Obama issued a memorandum directing OMB to evaluate practices of contracting officers and debarring officials in response to contractors' certifications regarding serious tax delinquencies and to provide him, within 90 days, recommendations to ensure that contractors with any such delinquencies are not awarded new federal contracts. Additionally, the President directed the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to conduct a review of the accuracy of contractors' certifications of non-delinquency that companies bidding for federal contracts must submit.

DOJ Establishes National Fraud Enforcement Division
On April 7, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). This new division will be dedicated to the centralized, coordinated investigation and prosecution of fraud against taxpayer dollars and taxpayer-funded programs. AAG Blanche acknowledged that, while DOJ has a “storied history of combatting fraud,” DOJ has “never adopted a comprehensive and coordinated approach to investigating and prosecuting fraud against taxpayer dollars and tax-payer funded programs.” The NFED was created to close that gap with its core mission being to “zealously investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars.”
