Lockheed Martin paid $2 million to settle allegations that it overbilled the government for the fuel it used while manufacturing C-130 aircraft for the U.S. Air Force. Between 2006 and 2013, Lockheed manufactured C-130s at its Marietta, Georgia facility. Pursuant to the underlying contracts, the government provided Lockheed with up to 22,000 gallons of fuel per aircraft, which could be used for engine runs, fuel operations, and test flights. Once Lockheed exhausted its 22,000 gallon allotment on a particular aircraft, Lockheed was financially responsible for any additional fuel. However, the government alleged that Lockheed routinely used fuel in excess of the 22,000 gallons but failed to reimburse the government. Additionally, the government claimed that Lockheed used the fuel on other unrelated projects where the government was either not a party or had not agreed to furnish fuel.
