About the PCSF:
The Department of Justice's Procurement Collusion Strike Force (PCSF) leads a coordinated national response to combat antitrust crimes and related schemes in government procurement, grant, and program funding at all levels of government—federal, state, and local. The PCSF is comprised of the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, multiple U.S. Attorneys' Offices around the country, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Inspectors General for multiple Federal agencies.
In the wake of devastation caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, federal agencies will be working with state and local government agencies to solicit competitive bids for relief and recovery contracts. The PCSF is committed to supporting the OIG community to deter, detect, investigate, and prosecute violations of criminal antitrust laws, such as bid rigging and collusion in the competitive bidding process.

Registrants will receive an e-mail containing the PCSF WebEx webinar link prior to the event.
