A U.S. Office of Personnel Management employee from D.C. pleaded guilty Friday to a conflict of interest violation that netted her and her husband over $10 million from the federal agency.
Between Aug. 17, 2011 and March 23, 2023, Sheron Spann, 54, steered OPM contracts for case management software regarding background checks into federal employees and contractors to companies controlled by her husband, Thomas Spann III.
On Sept. 23, 2011, Enlightened Inc. was granted a blank purchase agreement for the case management software, with Spann acting as the point of contact between OPM and the company. A three-month bridge contract was then awarded to Enlightened Inc. in April 2017 for another $1.5 million without any competition.
At the same time, Spann was personally profiting thanks to a connection with Tier 1 LLC, which was itself used as a contractor by Enlightened Inc. In filings to the Office of Government Ethics, Spann identified herself as the vice president of Tier 1 LLC.
