Base And Option Years Unit Pricing Not Releasable Under FOIA
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 09.29.06
In Canadian Commercial Corp. v. Dept. of Air Force, Judge Bates, despite rejecting the contractor's argument that the disclosure of the base and option year prices would likely cause substantial competitive harm in future procurements, reversed the Air Force's decisions to release that data from its contract for the maintenance and repair of J85 turbojet engines. The court found that the pricing information was involuntarily submitted but that substantial competitive harm would result from the release of all but the labor rates for the over and above work, based solely on the conclusion that the release would harm the contractor by providing its competitors information that they could use to convince the Air Force not to exercise the contract options.

Federal Court Blocks Trump Administration Policies Restricting Wind and Solar Permitting
A coalition of regional clean energy trade associations — including RENEW Northeast, Alliance for Clean Energy New York, Southern Renewable Energy Association, and Interwest Energy Alliance — along with the Green Energy Consumers Alliance (GECA), filed suit in December 2025 against the Department of the Interior (DOI), the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Army Corps of Engineers. The complaint alleged that five agency actions, issued in response to a series of executive orders and presidential memoranda beginning on January 20, 2025, violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by arbitrarily halting or restricting federal permitting for wind and solar energy projects. Plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction to halt enforcement of these policies while the litigation proceeds. See Renew Northeast, et al. v. U.S. Dep’t of Interior, et al., No. 25-cv-13961-DJC, (D. Mass. Apr. 21, 2026) ECF Dkt. 89.
