Booz Allen Hamilton’s downtown San Antonio office has been barred from doing business with the federal government after a retired Air Force officer was accused of feeding the firm confidential information.

In a letter dated Monday, Air Force Deputy General Counsel Steven Shaw found that Booz Allen received the information from former Lt. Col. Joselito Meneses, who went to work for the company.

Shaw stated that Meneses brought a hard drive into a Booz Allen office on his first day of work in April.

That contract was about to expire, and Booz Allen was an interested prospective bidder.
