Unfair Disqualification Results In Reinstatement
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 12.19.05

U.S. (Dec. 7, 2005) reinforced that offerors must be treated evenhandedly, setting aside a disqualification of OTI for high-tech passports when other offerors had been kept in the competition for lesser failures. Joining a recent spate of cases analyzing what relief can be given in light of government assertions of national defense, the court reinstated OTI in the competition, but allowed a pilot project with another offeror to continue, as multiple awards were contemplated.
