Retaliation is strictly prohibited against any person who, in good faith, reports a concern. If you feel that you were retaliated against please talk to your manager, Human Resources, your BCO or call the OpenLine. In conjunction with DoD contracts, 10 U.S.C. 2409 prohibits contractors from discharging, demoting, or otherwise discriminating against an employee as a reprisal for disclosing, to any of the following entities, information that the employee reasonably believes is evidence of gross mismanagement of a DoD contract, a gross waste of DoD funds, a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, or a violation of law related to a DoD contract (including the competition for or negotiation of a contract):
- A Member of Congress.
- A representative of a committee of Congress.
- An Inspector General that receives funding from or has oversight over contracts awarded for or on behalf of DoD.
- The Government Accountability Office.
- A DoD employee responsible for contract oversight or management.
- An authorized official of an agency or the Department of Justice.
Any employee who believes that he or she has been discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against contrary to the prohibition set forth above may file a complaint with the DoD Inspector General.
