Exhibit 1285 ยท GAO report
Post-Government Employment Restrictions: DOD Could Further Enhance Its Compliance Efforts Related to Former Employees Working for Defense Contractors (GAO-21-104311)
Similar to what we found in 2008, DOD contractors identified fewer former DOD senior and acquisition officials in their employ than we identified using DOD personnel data and IRS tax data.
GAO's 2021 update of its 2008 report. The 14 major contractors reviewed employed 1,718 former DoD senior or acquisition officials in 2019 who left DoD service from 2014 through 2019. Ten contractors reported 816 such former officials against 1,149 in GAO's DoD and IRS data, and GAO could not reconcile the difference. The report states employment of these officials is lawful but subject to restrictions; it reports no violation counts as a finding of this sentence.
