Officium Global and Loyal Source Agree to Pay $3.6 Million False Claims Settlement
Officium Global LLC and Loyal Source Government Services LLC will pay a combined total of more than $3.6 million to resolve allegations they violated the False Claims Act and Contract Disputes Act on government contracts. The settlement ends Department of Justice liability claims and requires the contractors to forgo certain disputed payments under existing agreements.
successful-blog.comOrlando, Florida — Officium Global LLC and Loyal Source Government Services LLC have agreed to pay over $3.6 million to settle allegations they violated the False Claims Act and Contract Disputes Act on federal government contracts, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida announced on June 2, 2026.
The companies, which provide staffing and support services to federal agencies, faced claims that they submitted false claims for payment and pursued improper contract disputes. The settlement covers both the False Claims Act allegations against Officium Global and Contract Disputes Act liability for Loyal Source.
Under the agreement, the contractors will pay the United States a total of more than $3.6 million and relinquish certain claims for additional compensation under the affected contracts.
The resolution closes the government's civil fraud investigation without requiring an admission of liability. It forms part of the Justice Department's ongoing use of the False Claims Act to recover funds from contractors accused of overbilling or submitting improper claims on federal agreements.
The payment will return more than $3.6 million directly to the U.S. Treasury. The companies must now adjust their billing and compliance practices on current and future federal contracts to avoid triggering further audits or referrals to the Department of Justice.
Federal contracting officers responsible for the affected agreements will receive updated payment instructions and close out the disputed claims.
This settlement follows a series of False Claims Act recoveries from government service contractors in the Middle District of Florida. The False Claims Act, which dates to the Civil War era, allows the government to recover treble damages and penalties for false or fraudulent claims submitted to federal programs.
The Contract Disputes Act governs the resolution of claims arising under federal contracts and sets strict procedures for asserting and litigating those claims.
