U.S. v. Scott G. Srodes

Scott G. Srodes, a former employee of a shelving and storage distributor located in Salt Lake City, Utah, pleaded guilty before a Federal District Court Judge in the Middle District of Georgia. Srodes pleaded guilty to two felonies for conspiring to rig bids and defraud the U.S. Department of War. According to public documents, Srodes and his co-conspirators submitted collusive bids for multiple projects at healthcare facilities at Air Force Base Moody in Valdosta, Georgia, and for aircraft maintenance facilities at Air Force Base Nellis in Las Vegas, Nevada. Srodes and his co-conspirators exchanged pricing information prior to submitting them, at times instructing each other exactly what price to quote for certain projects. The projects, which had a total value of more than $1.8 million, were funded through the Defense Logistics Agency’s Facilities Maintenance, Repair, and Operations Program. The guilty plea entered by Srodes on June 2, 2026, is the second in an ongoing investigation into bid rigging and fraud impacting U.S. military facilities in the United States.
