A former government contractor who bribed two General Services Administration employees for no-bid contract work pleaded guilty in federal court on May 16.

Moustafa Ahmed Ibrahim, 37, of Harrisonburg, Va., struck a plea deal, Department of Justice officials said in a statement, where he admitted to bribing two GSA building managers for a series of construction and maintenance contracts.

Prosecutors said that between October 2007 and November 2009, Ibrahim paid the Washington, D.C., building managers $15,000 in bribes to get the inside track on series of small contracts that were less than $3,000 in value and could be charged on a government-issued credit card.

The bribes netted Ibrahim more than $200,000 in contract work. He admitted in court that he promised to kickback 10 percent of the contract's value to the GSA employees, who have already pleaded guilty to bribery charges.

As part of the plea deal, Ibrahim will forfeit $15,000. U.S. District Judge George L. Russell III set a sentencing date of Sept. 9.

DOJ officials said the GSA inspector general is currently investigating the case.
