The U.S. Justice Dept. on Feb. 8 filed a civil suit against Lockheed Martin Corp. and two units—alleging kickbacks, false claims and breach of contract on a large cost-plus-award-fee nuclear waste cleanup contract with the U.S. Energy Dept. at the Hanford site in Washington state.

Also named are Lockheed Martin Services and Mission Support Alliance (MSA), which at the time of the alleged misconduct were owned jointly by Lockheed Martin Integrated Technology, Jacobs Engineering Group and Centerra Group. Jorge Armijo, vice president of Lockheed Martin and former MSA president, also was sued.
