A settlement has been reached to reolve allegations that Sikorsky Aircraft submitted inflated costs for spare parts to the U.S. Army. Sikorsky Aircraft manufactures Black Hawk helicopters and spare parts for the helicopters for the U.S. Military and for friendly nations.
Sikorsky Aircraft agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle these allegations.
The government alleged that from February 7, 2008 through September 8, 2011, Sikorsky failed to disclose accurate, complete and current cost and pricing data to the Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (“AMCOM”). AMCOM is one of the purchasing commands of the Army that is charged with purchasing spare parts for the Black Hawk.
