The Antitrust Division’s criminal enforcement program prosecutes individuals and corporate entities for collusion, monopolization, and other crimes that undermine the free market. It promotes competition and innovation while protecting consumers, workers, and taxpayers. More information on the criminal enforcement program's mission and structure, including contact information, is available at: https://www.justice.gov/atr/antitrust-division-leadership-section-and-office-directory#sections.

The Procurement Collusion Strike Force (PCSF) is the Department’s coordinated, national response to collusion in public procurement. An interagency partnership led by the Antitrust Division, the PCSF is staffed by attorneys from the Division’s criminal enforcement program. Interagency partners include U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and national law enforcement agencies (current partners are listed on the PCSF’s public website). The PCSF mobilizes resources in a decentralized, district-based model to conduct outreach and training, and investigations and prosecutions, into conduct that undermines competition in government procurement. Each district team is staffed by at least one Antitrust Division attorney, an Assistant United States Attorney, and agents from each of the national law enforcement partners.
