The scene from outside the U.S. Office of Personnel Management in Washington, D.C., on May 21, 2019. WASHINGTON — A former employee of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management was sentenced to two years probation for steering more than $10 million worth of contracts toward businesses associated with herself or her husband. Federal sentencing guidelines recommended a sentence of zero to six months in jail with eligibility for probation, according to the defendant's memorandum. The company won multiple OPM contracts, starting in 2011, with Spann serving as OPM's point of contact. The Spanns also benefited from Enlightened's contract with consulting firm Tier 1 LLC from March 2012 to April 2017, according to court records.
