Ethics Violations by Former BIA Employee
OIG investigated allegations that a former Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) contracting employee had a conflict of interest involving a government contractor. We also investigated allegations that the employee had an inappropriate relationship with a second government contractor.
Our investigation confirmed the allegations. The employee signed an agreement with a contractor to assist the contractor in obtaining government contracts in exchange for the employee receiving help to develop business on an Indian reservation.
BIA Employees Made Improper Purchases
OIG investigated allegations that a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) employee improperly used a BIA purchase card to purchase speakers, headphones, and electronic tablets.
Prior to any significant involvement by our office, we learned that BIA had already investigated the matter and confirmed that two employees inappropriately purchased and gave to colleagues eight headphones and two wireless speakers, totaling $2,931.92. One of the employees also used his personal funds to improperly purchase five tablet computers at a discounted rate through a BIA contract.
