On April 30, 2021, a Northern District of Texas judge denied a motion to dismiss an FCA qui tam action alleging “a fraudulent scheme to obtain Government subcontracting opportunities reserved for eligible small businesses under the Small Business Act.” In the complaint, the relator alleged that one or more of the defendants received several lucrative government construction subcontracts by falsely claiming small business eligibility. According to the relator, defendant RRSA Residential, a large, national roofing company, and its related entities “devised a scheme to obtain subcontracting opportunities that are reserved for small businesses under the Small Business Act.”
