Procurement Fraud: Legislative and Regulatory Reform Proposals (2008)

National Procurement Fraud Task Force Legislation Committee, June 9, 2008

On October 10, 2006, Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty announced the formation of the National Procurement Fraud Task Force (Task Force), a partnership among Federal agencies charged with the investigation and prosecution of illegal acts in connection with Government contracting and grant activities. Task Force principals include representatives from Federal law enforcement, Offices of Inspectors General (OIGs), and the litigating arms of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and United States Attorneys offices (USAOs). DOJ has strongly encouraged the formation of smaller regional task forces to ensure greater coordination and focus of resources across the Federal districts.

In 2009, The National Procurement Fraud Task Force (Task Force) was incorporated into StopFraud.gov, the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force.
