The same investigation that revealed Air Force officials steered a $50 million Thunderbirds multimedia production contract to a well-connected company discovered other questionable deals by the 99th Contracting Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.

The Defense Department inspector general’s nearly two-year investigation turned up evidence, including statements by squadron members, that:

å Private firms performed work before contracts were awarded;

å Contracting personnel backdated documents; and

å Officials eliminated competition for a favored vendor by funneling money to it through a Native Alaskan corporation, according to the IG report released April 17.
