U.S. (June 3, 2005), after demonstrating that the cost realism evaluation was flawed due to the improper normalization of a significant cost element, satisfied its showing of irreparable injury in part by arguing that it would lose some of its trained workforce if the awardee were allowed to take over the job while the case and a reevaluation proceeded. The Court of Federal Claims also noted that only in "an exceptional case" would procurement delay alone warrant denial of injunctive relief in a bid protest case.

JUST RELEASED: EPA’s Bold New Strategic Civil-Criminal Enforcement Collaboration Policy
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) just issued its new Strategic Civil-Criminal Enforcement Policy, setting the stage for the new manner in which the agency manages its pollution investigations. David M. Uhlmann, the head of OECA, signed the Policy memorandum on April 17, 2024, in order to ensure that EPA’s civil and criminal enforcement offices collaborate efficiently and consistently in cases across the nation. The Policy states, “EPA must exercise enforcement discretion reasonably when deciding whether a particular matter warrants criminal, civil, or administrative enforcement. Criminal enforcement should be reserved for the most egregious violations.” Uhlmann repeated this statement during a luncheon on April 23, 2024, while also emphasizing the new level of energy this collaborative effort has brought to the enforcement programs.
