But that order did not automatically result in warnings to other companies that might have been subcontracting work to Zurmat or one of its subsidiaries. Such warnings would only be issued if the company were formally debarred by the Defense Department, according to the special inspector general’s letter to Mr. Hagel. As a result, employees at the Zurmat testing laboratory gained access in November 2012 to what was at the time the main American-run prison in Afghanistan, the letter said. Zurmat had been hired to perform safety tests on the construction work done by another contractor, CLC Construction, which was building a courthouse at the prison and had not been informed of the Central Command decision to bar the Afghan firm. The U.S. inspector general SIGAR said it had uncovered the work done by Zurmat as part of a separate investigation into shoddy construction work at the detention facility, which is adjacent to Bagram Air Base, one of the largest coalition bases in Afghanistan.But the Pentagon officials who rule on suspension and debarment cases have so far refused to issue the bans. In the documents, the officials argue that because the evidence against Zurmat and the other companies and individuals consists largely of classified intelligence, which cannot be shown to the accused contractors, debarment would violate their right to due process.
