On September 8, 2005, the Department of Justice issued a “FOIA Post” memorandum (http://www.usdoj.gov/oip/foiapost/2005foiapost17.htm) reflecting on last year's decision by the D.C. Circuit in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. U.S. Dep't of the Air Force, 375 F.3d 1182, in which the court rejected DOJ's efforts to have the contractor's unit prices released. The “FOIA Post” discusses various ways that agencies can distinguish that decision in favor of disclosure of unit-price information and advises agencies to look to Fourth and Ninth Circuit decisions which supported the disclosure of unit prices.

On March 18, 2026, the Antitrust Division (Division) of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement (“NPA”) with Broadway Across America (“BAA”), resolving a criminal antitrust investigation into agreements between BAA and another entertainment company (“Company A”) that included non-compete restrictions on Company A’s ability to offer potentially competing programming. Notably, the restrictions were contained in a vertical agreement by which BAA presented touring shows at theaters owned by Company A. The announcement is a reminder that the agencies continue to scrutinize non-compete agreements contained in business contracts, and all non-compete provisions, even those included between vertical partners, should be reviewed by antitrust counsel.
