Tech Bundling Justified For Emergency Situations
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 01.02.09
In CHE Consulting, Inc. v. U.S. (Dec. 30, 2008), the Federal Circuit upheld the Navy's bundling of hardware and software maintenance for a complex computer system under an FSS buy. While many agencies buy these separately and GSA initially declined to bundle in this instance, the court upheld the Navy's rationale that it could not afford the time to analyze the source of equipment problems or the risk that two different maintenance contractors would be pointing at each other about who was responsible for fixing the problem, given the time-critical information it provided to the fleet in emergency situations.

District Court Grants Preliminary Injunction Against Seller of Gray Market Snack Food Products
On November 12, 2025, Judge King in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington granted in part Haldiram India Ltd.’s (“Plaintiff” or “Haldiram”) motion for a preliminary injunction against Punjab Trading, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Punjab Trading”), a seller alleged to be importing and distributing gray market snack food products not authorized for sale in the United States. The court found that Haldiram was likely to succeed on the merits of its trademark infringement claim because the products at issue, which were intended for sale in India, were materially different from the versions intended for sale in the U.S., and for this reason were not genuine products when sold in the U.S. Although the court narrowed certain overbroad provisions in the requested order, it ultimately enjoined Punjab Trading from importing, selling, or assisting others in selling the non-genuine Haldiram products in the U.S. market.
