Settlement Reached on Contractor Use of Front Companies to Satisfy Small-Business Goals

The Tri-City Herald is reporting today that one of the (former) contractors engaged in cleaning up nuclear waste at DoE’s Hanford facility Washington Closure Hanford (WCH), has reached a settlement with the Justice Department over its use of front companies to meet its small business subcontracting goals. WCH is owned by AECOM, Jacobs Engineering, and Bechtel. The reporting did not state the settlement amount. Previously, a subcontractor and two lower-tier subcontractors have settled their parts in the schemes for about $2.2 million.
