The two companies with the most business - nearly $700 million between them - were Boeing Co. (BA) and Integrated Coast Guard Systems, a partnership of defense giants Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Those companies have paid more than $250 million in the past three years to settle charges of improprieties with their Pentagon contracts. Homeland Security audits also have accused the two companies of overcharging, in Boeing's case by $49 million. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050101/D87B04PO0.html Top Homeland Contractors Had Gov't Run-Ins Dec 31, 8:52 PM (ET) By MATT KELLEY WASHINGTON (AP) - The largest Homeland Security Department contractors include two companies which paid millions to settle charges they defrauded the Pentagon, one firm which paid a foreign corruption fine and a business accused of botching a computer system for veterans hospitals, records show.
