Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 09.02.10
In K-Lak Corp. v. U.S. (Aug. 3, 2010), the Court of Federal Claims determined that it has jurisdiction to consider the claims that the Air Force had improperly decided to remove a requirement for credit reports from the 8(a) Program and instead had procured the reports through a GSA schedule in order to obtain lower prices. The court explained that, for purposes of determining its bid protest jurisdiction, the definition of "procurement" is broad and encompasses the agency's initial process of determining its needs.

CMS Doubles Down on RADV Audit Changes
On January 27, 2026, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a Health Plan Management System (HPMS) memo that provided a long-awaited update on how the agency plans to approach previously announced Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits for Payment Years (PY) 2020-2024. The memo is the agency’s most comprehensive statement on the subject since September 25, 2025, when the Northern District of Texas vacated the 2023 RADV Final Rule. The memo makes clear that, while CMS has made certain operational adjustments in response to concerns expressed by Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs), the agency is largely pressing forward with the accelerated audit strategy announced in May 2025.
