The 95% Pass-Through

James Clark — never a service-disabled veteran — ran front companies that won $12M in set-aside contracts and passed up to 95% of the money through to his own ineligible firm.

Court record — not allegation. The defendant in this case, James Allen Clark, 62, of Florida (Enola Contracting Services), was convicted. The facts below are drawn from the official account of the case, linked at the bottom of this page.

Clark, neither a service-disabled veteran nor an 8(a) participant, used proxy and pass-through companies that falsely certified to the VA and SBA that they were veteran- or disadvantaged-owned and controlled.

He concealed his role providing bonding assistance and asserting control over those businesses. The companies won contracts meant for legitimate firms and passed through up to 95% of the proceeds to Clark’s own unqualified company — underbidding and depriving genuinely qualified businesses.

Seven federal investigative agencies, including VA OIG, worked the case.
