L3 Suspended From Special Operations Work

L3's special ops division has been suspended while the government investigates some shenanigans.

The government has taken the rare action of cutting a unit of L-3 off from all new business while it investigates alleged misuse of an email system and has threatened the broader company, saying it is “considering” suspending the parent subsidiary as well.

A source with long experience of black contracting, and who knows L-3 reasonably well, characterized the suspension as “a very serious matter” for both the government and the company. This source said that such suspensions usually occur “because the contracting agency does not feel they have gotten the attn of the company’s senior leadership.”
