Unfounded Allegations of Theft, Kickbacks, and Contractor Collusion at BIA Facility

Report Number
16-0277

The OIG investigated allegations that two Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) employees sold stolen BIA equipment to a contractor, and that another BIA employee provided sensitive procurement information to a contractor in exchange for kickbacks. We found no evidence to support either allegation. Regarding the first allegation, the BIA facility did not have a tracking system in place during the time of the alleged theft, so we could not determine whether BIA owned the property alleged to have been stolen.
