A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against Armorsource LLC.
The whistleblower's share of the settlement will be $450,000.
The allegations arose from a lawsuit, claiming Armorsource LLC from 2006 to 2009, delivered Advanced Combat Helmets to the Army that were manufactured and tested using methods that did not conform to contract requirements and failed to meet contract performance standards. The Army recalled the helmets after several lots failed ballistic safety tests in May 2010.
Special Agent in Charge Monte A. Cason of the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General’s Dallas Field Office stated “Today’s settlement in this important case is a reminder to all government contractors that they must deliver on their promises, especially when the safety and security of our troops is on the line”.
