Contractor Wins Directed Award In A-76 Protest
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 02.13.04
The GAO in BAE Systems Tech. Servs., Inc. (Jan. 28, 2004) (represented by C&M), directed the Navy to award a contract to the private offeror in an A-76 competition in which the in-house entity failed to comply with, or include costs for, various solicitation requirements. GAO determined that the agency's post-protest attempts to cure the in-house offer’s deficiencies were "inappropriate" and damaging to "the integrity of the A-76 process" and criticized the agency for failing to perform the independent review mandated by the A-76 process when it reviewed the in-house offeror’s compliance with only one portion of the solicitation, rather than all.

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.
