Fayetteville Man Pleads Guilty to Receiving Bribes at Ft. Bragg

A Fayetteville man has pleaded guilty to receiving bribes in his role as a flooring technician while employed at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.

Calvin Alfonza Jordan, a former procurement agent assigned to the Operations and Maintenance Division, Directorate of Public Works (DPW), at Fort Bragg, accepted bribes from vendors in exchange for increasing the amount of federal contracts awarded to them.

According to court documents, Jordan received approximately $1 million in illegal bribes from 2011 to 2019.

“As I have earlier announced, the ‘pay-to-play’ culture encouraged by government employees at Ft. Bragg stops now,” said Michael Easley, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

Jordan pleaded guilty to receiving bribes, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 201. He faces a maximum penalty of 180 months in prison and is tentatively set for sentencing in May 2022.

The case was investigated by Defense Criminal Investigative Service and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigative Division, Major Procurement Fraud Unit.

“Participating in a long-term scheme to defraud the government to line your pockets is a losing proposition,” said Michael Curran, Special Agent-in-Charge of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division’s Southeast Fraud Field Office.

Jordan’s guilty plea marks another victory in the fight against public corruption and highlights the importance of integrity in government contracting.
