Texas Chevy dealership sues government contractor for $4.6 million 

Caldwell Country Chevrolet is suing a government contractor over alleged failed payments for store invoices. The Chevy dealership customized vehicles for the contractor and has 155 unpaid invoices to provide as evidence. 

The invoices for upfitted trucks and SUVs average $40,000 each. According to GM Authority, the dealership claims this is proof of a breach of contract and unjust enrichment. 

The dealer and Acquisition Integration, the government contractor, agreed to start working together in 2021. Acquisition Integration received government orders for lifted and modded vehicles and passed them to the dealership to fulfill. 

After 18 months of things working out, suddenly Acquisition Integration continued getting paid but failed to pay the dealership. Allegedly it knows that they owe the money. 

But Acquisition Integration claims that the dealership isn’t squeaky clean. Reportedly, it delivered trucks and SUVs with tons of problems. Allegedly, the vehicles were incorrectly modified according to government instructions. 

The two groups have been negotiating, and it’s possible that things can be settled outside of court. However, both parties are ready to put the case forward if they fail to make a resolution. 

Acquisition Integration moved to dismiss the case. But Mark Lane, a United States Magistrate judged shared that there are sufficient grounds for the lawsuit to move forward. The lawsuit will probably proceed.
