GAO Protest Jurisdiction over Most Task Order Awards by Civilian Agencies Ends Today
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 09.30.16
Pursuant to the sunset provision of 41 U.S.C. § 4106(f)(3), and resulting Congressional inaction, GAO protest jurisdiction over task order awards by Civilian Agencies will end today at 5:30 PM EST, except for “a protest on the ground that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract under which the order is issued.” However, pursuant to Technatomy Corp., B-405130, June 14, 2011, 2011 CPD ¶ 107, GAO will likely have jurisdiction to decide protests filed before the deadline.

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.
