US Government Contractor Misconduct Database

The government has no excuse for wasting taxpayer money due to contracting companies with a poor performance record now that Project On Government Oversight (POGO), a centralized federal database listing companies with instances of misconduct, was created.

"In the beginning, POGO (which was then known as Project on Military Procurement) worked to expose outrageously overpriced military spending such as the $7,600 coffee maker and the $436 hammer. After many successes reforming the military, POGO expanded its mandate to investigate systemic waste, fraud, and abuse in all federal agencies."
