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.

Colorado Hits Reset on AI Regulation: SB 26-189 Repeals and Reenacts the Colorado AI Act
Colorado’s original AI Act (SB 24-205), signed in May 2024, imposed broad obligations on developers and deployers of “high-risk AI systems” — including requiring risk management programs, impact assessments, and affirmative steps to prevent algorithmic discrimination across employment, housing, lending, insurance, health care, and education decisions. The operative date for SB 24-205 was extended twice, and a court temporarily suspended enforcement in early 2026, following a lawsuit filed by xAI, which the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) intervened to support. Industry feedback on SB 24-205 was generally negative. In response to this environment, Colorado’s legislature undertook a rewrite, drafting and passing SB 26-189 in a matter of weeks. SB 26-189 reflects the legislature’s effort to preserve the policy goal of filling the AI oversight vacuum given the lack of a comprehensive federal law, but within a more workable compliance framework.
