Recall the concern over conflicts of interests between government consulting and sales. Northrop Grumman's will sell its TASC consulting unit to KKR and General Atlantic as a result of the new law. The Deal reported:
Northrop chairman and CEO Ronald Sugar, who plans to retire, said in a press release that the sale of Chantilly, Va.-based Tasc "reflects Northrop Grumman's desire to align quickly with the government's new organizational conflict of interest standards." As noted in The Deal Pipeline, defense companies have been under fire for situations in which their consulting arms might be advising on procurement deals on which their weapons side is bidding.
The Carlyle Group has a huge government consulting firm in Booz, Allen, Hamilton. It also has nearly a thousand affiliates ready to support Uncle Sam.
