Vendor fraud and kickbacks in city and county purchasing is not uncommon. It is important that city, county, & state agencies conduct the proper due diligence on the vendor selected before making significant purchases. It is not unusual to learn that the company is providing products and/or services to government that has a questionable background or a criminal history. Often even using no cost resources like the Better Business Bureau can reveal a host of information about the company and operating management, as the BBB keeps extensive files on companies. The government requires background checks before it hires employees, and the same should be done before hiring consultants and vendors being paid amounts over $10,000.00.
