The US approach to cartel enforcement in public procurements
CPI Antitrust Chronicle
United States | Publication | February 2023
While bid rigging and other offenses relating to procurement fraud are nothing new in the history of the Antitrust Division's criminal enforcement efforts, the Division's prioritization of and organization regarding these offenses changed in late 2019.
The Procurement Collusion Strike Force (PCSF) and procurement cases have become mainstays of the US DOJ Antitrust Division's criminal cartel enforcement efforts since that time. Through a combination of its durable design, favorable circumstances for its growth, and the Antitrust Division's own diligence in building a network that spans the procurement landscape and prioritizes procurement cases, the PCSF is poised to play a prominent role in US cartel enforcement and maintain the Division's enforcement focus on public procurements in the coming years.
This article analyzes the PCSF's development and progress to date and assesses the initiative's progress so far in its own "detect and deter" mission.
