Billy Joe Hunt v. the Parsons Corporation

Summary

The court affirmed summary judgment for Parsons on Hunt's False Claims Act claims arising from Parsons's allegedly noncompetitive subcontracting decision and related payment submissions. The court held that the payment form did not contain an express or implied certification of compliance with the applicable procurement requirement, and that Hunt presented no evidence that the government would have withheld payment had it known of the alleged noncompliance. The court did not reach Hunt's scienter argument because the other grounds independently supported affirmance.
