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.

Africa, MENA, and the Arbitration Act 2025: LCIA’s Latest Report
The LCIA's 2025 Annual Casework Report contains a finding that should command the attention of any business with commercial exposure to Africa or the Middle East. Participation from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) rose to almost 15% of the LCIA's caseload in 2025, and the UAE alone is now the third most represented jurisdiction globally, overtaking every non-Anglophone jurisdiction in the world.[1] That shift did not happen in isolation. It coincided with the entry into force of the Arbitration Act 2025 (the 2025 Act) — the most significant reform of English arbitration law in a generation — and a dramatic surge in parties deploying the LCIA's procedural toolkit more aggressively than ever before.[2]
