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 5, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) withdrew its appeals of decisions issued by Texas and Florida federal district courts, which enjoined the FTC from enforcing a nationwide rule banning almost all noncompete employment agreements. Companies, however, should not read this decision to mean that their noncompete agreements will no longer be subjected to antitrust scrutiny by federal enforcers. In a statement joined by Commissioner Melissa Holyoak, Chairman Andrew Ferguson stressed that the FTC “will continue to enforce the antitrust laws aggressively against noncompete agreements” and warned that “firms in industries plagued by thickets of noncompete agreements will receive [in the coming days] warning letters from me, urging them to consider abandoning those agreements as the Commission prepares investigations and enforcement actions.”
