Alternative Procurement Yields Protestor Bid Preparation Costs

Klinge Corp. v. U.S. (Sept. 30, 2008) presented the unusual situation of the agency, after remand from a successful protest of an IDIQ award, purchasing the items under a separate Federal Supply Schedule contract instead. Perceiving no attempt to circumvent the prior ruling of the court or otherwise to act in bad faith, the CFC found that the two awards could have overlapped in any event and refused to enjoin the FSS award, while awarding the protestor its bid preparation costs under the original solicitation.

On September 29, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a sweeping Interim Final Rule (IFR), (the “Affiliates Rule”) expanding which entities qualify as Entity List or Military End-User entities, thereby subjecting those entities to elevated export control restrictions under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). U.S. export restrictions applicable to entities on the Entity List, Military End-User (MEU) List, and Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN List) now apply to foreign affiliates that are, in the aggregate, owned 50% or more by one or more of the aforementioned entities. An entity that becomes subject to these restrictions because of its ownership structure will be subject to the most restrictive controls that attach to any of its parent entities, regardless of ownership stakes.
