Types of GSA Fraud
The General Services Administration, or GSA, is an independent agency of the U.S. government that helps regulate and support the government. GSA provides the government employees with office space, transportation, and other general support. Often, the GSA requires the help of other companies in order to provide cost-effective solutions to common government problems.
For a company to work with GSA, it must follow certain legal protocol, such as providing the same discounts to the government as it provides to commercial businesses. If not, the company can be charged with GSA fraud. If you believe that you have witnessed GSA fraud, you should not hesitate to report this crime to an experienced attorney.

Fraud and Qui Tam Law
The government does not always know if a company is committing fraud against GSA or other government agencies. Instead, it relies on regular citizens to help. If a citizen brings a company or individual to court for transgressions against the government, the whistleblower can be rewarded. This is called Qui Tam law.
What is GSA Fraud?
Even though the GSA is independent, it still provides services to the government. The government only uses GSA-approved vendors, and in return the vendors must deal fairly with the GSA and government. If not, it commits fraud, such as:
- Not providing the same discounts to the government as to commercial customers
- Not offering the “best price” to the government as it does for commercial customers
- Ignoring the Trade Agreement Act
It is your responsibility to stand up for your government. Fight back against GSA fraud by consulting a Qui Tam lawyer immediately.
