Contratos de Blackwater da pergunta dos revisores de contas: Mas é realmente $107 milhões?

Quarta-feira, agosto 13o, 2008

Por Elizabeth Olson | Blackwater Worldwide, o contratante cuja a provisão da segurança confidencial em Iraq estêve sob o scrutiny, e suas companhias affiliated podem impropriamente ter obtido mais de $100 milhões nos contratos significados para empresas de pequeno porte, de acordo com revisores de contas federais.

Um relatório pelo general de inspector da administração da empresa de pequeno porte, emitido em julho, encontrado que Blackwater e suas filiais, including Airways presidenciais, ganharam 39 contratos nos anos fiscais 2005, 2006 e 2007 apesar das indicações que as companhias empregaram mais do que o número especificou pelos ESTADOS UNIDOS. governo. Em alguns casos, o relatório dito, as companhias teve também uns rendimentos mais elevados do que permitidos uma empresa de pequeno porte.

Blackwater é um fornecedor principal da segurança para diplomatas americanos em Iraq e era o assunto de um hearing congressional após um Blackwater que dispara em Bagdade último setembro à esquerda 17 Iraqis absolutamente.

Blackwater e Airways presidenciais, ambos baseados em Moyock, Carolina norte, e possuídos por investimentos do EP, de McLean, Virgínia, ganhada 31 contratos reservados para companhias com rendimentos de $6.5 milhões ou mais menos, e um contrato adicional para uma companhia com não mais os de $750.000 em rendimentos anuais. Aqueles contratos, em tudo, foram avaliados em $2.1 milhões.

Além, os Airways presidenciais, que carrega passageiros e carga, ganharam uns $107 milhões nos contratos reservados para as companhias cujos os rendimentos eram não mais de $25.5 milhões ou tiveram menos de 1.500 empregados.

Embora a maioria dos contratos desafiados fossem concedidos pelo departamento da defesa, as determinações iniciais de se as companhias qualificadas como empresas de pequeno porte estiveram feitas pela administração da empresa de pequeno porte.

As companhias poderiam ter contornado critérios do tamanho da empresa de pequeno porte porque contaram muitos trabalhadores enquanto os contratantes independentes, não os empregados, que permitiram que excedessem o teto de 1.500 empregados se ajustaram em alguns contratos, de acordo com os revisores de contas.

O escritório de general de inspector encontrou esse Blackwater e as outras companhias' tamanhos e rendimentos podem ter “misrepresentations envolvidos,” e sugerido que a agência pode querer “determine se é apropriado para filiais de Blackwater continuar recebendo contratos reservados da empresa de pequeno porte.”

Quando as empresa rivais tinham desafiado o contrato 2006 para serviços do helicóptero aos Airways presidenciais em terras que a companhia era demasiado grande, a linha aérea forneceu dados que 28 entidades Blackwater-affiliated tiveram um total de somente 715 empregados.

But the inspector general found that Blackwater had hired more than a thousand independent contractors and treated them as if they were regular employees, with scheduled shifts, for example, which called the size determination into question. The report also said the Small Business Administration should have “attempted to reconcile discrepancies” in the data Blackwater provided.

Anne Tyrrell, Blackwater’s spokeswoman, called the report “unnecessarily speculative,” and said the “classification of security personnel as independent contractors is reasonable, correct and legally protected.” She said that “all contracted personnel serving on government contracts in Iraq for Blackwater work under the direct operational control of the United States government.”

The report, which was requested last March by Representative Henry A. Waxman, Democrat of California who heads the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, asked the inspectors general of the Defense Department and other contracting agencies to “review these contracts to determine whether misrepresentations were made” to obtain them.

In a letter to Waxman, the SBA said it had relied on the figures provided by Blackwater and Presidential Airways.

###

~Chip’s note: The SBA IG report states that these small business contracts “could have involved potential misrepresentations by Blackwater.” The SBA IG report states that Blackwater “obtained a total of33 contracts during Fiscal Years 2005 through 2007, totaling $2,188,620, which may have involved misrepresentations to obtain the contract.” The report also finds that “it is possible that misrepresentations took place” on the remaining six contracts, totaling $107,311,356.
