WASHINGTON - TelAve -- In 2018, the U.S. Department of State executed Contract No. 19AQMM18R0131, naming the ANSI–ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) as an underwriter of conformity assessment.

But by the time this contract was signed on September 4, 2018, the accreditation identity "ANSI–ASQ National Accreditation Board" was already defunct in brand, broken in structure, and legally obsolete.

Despite this, the accreditation body "ANAB & IAF" continued to appear on certificates issued by Orion Registrar, Inc.

• Charleston / Riviera Beach (USA)
• Bangkok, Thailand
• Paris, France
• Sofia, Bulgaria
• Washington, DC
• Manila, Philippines

These locations were certified under a name that had already ceased to exist in its claimed form.

THE FRAUD TIMELINE: HOW ANAB'S IDENTITY COLLAPSED BEFORE THE FEDERAL CONTRACT

2004 — ANSI–ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) is formed

A joint venture between ANSI and ASQ.

2014 — Brand consolidation eliminates the "ANSI–ASQ" identity

ANSI consolidates all accreditation brands (ANAB, ACLASS, FQS) under a single name: ANAB.

From this point forward, "ANSI–ASQ National Accreditation Board" is brand‑obsolete.

Early 2018 — ASQ divests its ownership stake

ASQ sells its 50% interest.

The organization becomes ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) —

no ASQ, no hyphenated name, no ANSI–ASQ identity.

September 4, 2018 — Department of State signs Contract No. 19AQMM18R0131

The contract still uses the dead name:

"ANSI–ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB)"

and designates it as an "underwriter."

Under ISO/IEC 17011, an accreditation body cannot be an underwriter.

This designation alone invalidates neutrality.

2018–2020 — Orion Registrar continues issuing certificates with the obsolete ANAB identity

2026 — IAF (International Accreditation Forum, Incorporate Delaware) and ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation-Australia) (IAF & ILAC are associations of MRA-Multi-Recognition Arrangement and MLA-Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (this gives foreign accreditation bodies equivalency to ANSI-ANAB accreditation) IAF-ILAC merge into GLOBAC Global Accreditation Cooperation.

The global accreditation structure changes again, making the old ANAB identity even more obsolete.

THE DOJ CONNECTION: A DEEPER STRUCTURAL FAILURE

In 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice executed Contract No. 15F06725C0000139, repeating the same structural error found in the 2018 Department of State contract — and deepening it.

Unlike the 2018 DOS contract, the DOJ contract did not use the term "underwriter."

But by 2025, the FRAUD was already baked into the system:

• The ANSI–ASQ identity had been dead since 2014
• The ownership structure had dissolved in early 2018
• The 2018 DOS-Department of State, contract had already positioned the obsolete identity as an underwriter
• Orion had already issued certificates under the dead identity
• The accreditation ecosystem had never corrected itself

And critically:

The DOJ- Department of Justice was not only a paying customer — it was also a governing member of ANSI–ANAB.

This means the Department of Justice was simultaneously:

• participating in the governance of a defunct accreditation identity, and
• purchasing from that same defunct identity under a federal contract.

By the time DOJ used the accreditation body, the FRAUD was already complete.

The identity was already dead.

The system was already compromised.

THE CORE ISSUE: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PURCHASED ACCREDITATION FROM A BODY THAT NO LONGER EXISTED

When the Department of State signed Contract 19AQMM18R0131 (2018):

• The ANSI–ASQ identity was already dead (2014 brand consolidation).
• The ANSI–ASQ ownership structure was already dissolved (early 2018 divestiture).
• The accreditation body named in the contract no longer existed in the form described.
• The contract positioned ANAB as an underwriter, violating ISO/IEC 17011 neutrality.

When the Department of Justice later used the same accreditation body under Contract 15F06725C0000139 (2025):

• The identity was still dead,
• The structural error from 2018 was still uncorrected,
• And DOJ was both customer and governing member of the same defunct body.

This means:

The federal government purchased accreditation services from a body that was already structurally and legally defunct — TWICE.

And the certificates issued under that identity — including those for Charleston, Bangkok, Paris, Sofia, Washington DC, and Manila — were built on a foundation that had already collapsed.

THE ORION–CERTIFICATE: A CASE STUDY IN SYSTEMIC FAILURE

Orion Registrar's certificates:

• Charleston / Riviera Beach (USA) — 2018–2021
• Bangkok, Thailand — 2018–2020
• Paris, France — 2018–2020
• Sofia, Bulgaria — 2018–2020
• Washington, DC — covered under the same accreditation chain
• Manila, Philippines — 2018–2019

Every one of these locations was certified under a name that had already ceased to exist.

THE GLOBAL IMPLICATION

The continued use of the dead "ANSI–ASQ National Accreditation Board" identity — even in 2018–Present technical publications — proves: reference African Fuse (the link is still live on the internet as of April 21, 2026 12:18pm) – THE GUBERMAN-ANOMALY-DISOVERY https://guberman-quality.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/GUBERMAN-ANOMALY-FEBRUARY-2026.docx.pdf  (Page-5)

• The accreditation ecosystem never corrected itself
• The identity collapse was never disclosed
• The federal government was sold an accreditation body that no longer existed
• Certificates issued under that identity are structurally invalid
• The global conformity assessment system is compromised

This is not an isolated incident.

It is a global accreditation failure.

CONCLUSION

The Department of State's 2018 contract (19AQMM18R0131) did not merely contain outdated language.

It purchased accreditation services from a body whose identity had already collapsed — and positioned that body as an underwriter, violating the neutrality required under ISO/IEC 17011.

The Department of Justice's 2025 contract (15F06725C0000139) deepened the failure by using the same defunct accreditation identity, even after the FRAUD was already structurally complete — while DOJ simultaneously served as both customer and governing member of ANSI–ANAB.

The Orion‑issued certificates for Charleston, Bangkok, Paris, Sofia, Washington DC, and Manila stand as evidence of a system that continued to operate on a dead accreditation identity.

This is not a paperwork issue.

This is accreditation failure at the federal level.

"I spent twenty‑five years out of the 40 years in manufacturing and quality, uncovering what the world flew on, implanted, trusted, and never questioned: certifications issued by a body that died long before the contracts were signed. There is no waiver, no exception, and no administrative workaround when the foundation itself is fraudulent."
