GSA contractor pays out $60 million in roofing fraud case

September 3, 2013 By ei2admin

Ohio-based RPM International and its subsidiary Tremco Inc., agreed to pay  $60.9 million to settle allegations that Tremco inflated prices for roofing  supplies and services in connection with two multiple award schedule contracts  with the General Service Administration, the Justice Department says in an Aug.  28, 2013 statement.

Tremco – who manufactures construction products – failed to provide the  government with price discounts the company provided to non-government  customers, the statement says and allegedly marketed expensive materials to the  government without disclosing the availability of the same materials at lower  cost.

Under a GSA schedule contract, contractors must agree to an ongoing  disclosure of commercial pricing policies and practices. Under a provision of  the schedule contract known as the price reduction clause, contractors must  match in their government pricing the discounts they give to private sector  customers.
