Auction Concept Still Lives at CFC
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 11.10.10
In The Sheridan Corp. v. U.S. (Nov. 5, 2010), the CFC set aside the agency's corrective action when, in the face of a GAO protest, the agency announced another round of offers and a new evaluation. The court noted that (a) the record contained no justification by the agency for the corrective action, (b) even if the protest assertions made at GAO were well taken they would only require a reevaluation of the existing offers, and (c) the awardee was irreparably harmed by a new round of offers when its winning price had been disclosed to the other offerors.

DOJ Establishes National Fraud Enforcement Division
On April 7, 2026, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a memorandum establishing the National Fraud Enforcement Division (NFED) within the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). This new division will be dedicated to the centralized, coordinated investigation and prosecution of fraud against taxpayer dollars and taxpayer-funded programs. AAG Blanche acknowledged that, while DOJ has a “storied history of combatting fraud,” DOJ has “never adopted a comprehensive and coordinated approach to investigating and prosecuting fraud against taxpayer dollars and tax-payer funded programs.” The NFED was created to close that gap with its core mission being to “zealously investigate and prosecute those who steal or fraudulently misuse taxpayer dollars.”
