The Procurement Integrity Act: A High-Risk Area for Contractors

The government is serious about maintaining a "fair playing field" for contractors. So serious, in fact, that it established the Procurement Integrity Act as a criminal statute. The purpose of the Procurement Integrity Act is to maintain and establish a fair playing field for government contractors. Any contractor or subcontractor found to be in violation can face some harsh sanctions — including prosecution, fines, penalties, prison, loss of business and exclusion from government contracting. Violations of the Procurement Integrity Act can also provide a viable basis to file a bid protest at the Government Accountability Office or the Court of Federal Claims.
