Federal Circuit Upholds Corrective Action After Outcome Prediction
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 10.27.15
In Raytheon Co. v. U.S. (Oct. 23, 2015), the Federal Circuit upheld the CFC's denial of Raytheon's protest challenging corrective action taken in response to the GAO's outcome prediction statement that the unequal treatment challenge of a competitor would likely be sustained. The Federal Circuit agreed with the CFC that the Air Force's challenged pre-award communication with Raytheon amounted to unequal and misleading discussions and, therefore, the Air Force had a rational basis for reopening the bidding process.

SCOTUS Holds IEEPA Tariffs Unlawful
On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court issued a pivotal ruling in Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, negating the President’s ability to impose tariffs under IEEPA. The case stemmed from President Trump’s invocation of IEEPA to levy tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, China, and other countries, citing national emergencies. Challengers argued—and the Court agreed—that IEEPA does not delegate tariff authority to the President. The power to tariff is vested in Congress by the Constitution and cannot be delegated to the President absent express authority from Congress.
