Damages Available For Government Breach of CRADA
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 11.24.10
The CFC in D'Andrea Bros. LLC v. U.S. (Nov. 18, 2010) rebuffed the government's argument that the court has no jurisdiction to consider an alleged breach of a no-cost cooperative research and development agreement and to award damages. The court set for trial the contractor's complaint that, when the Marine Corps bad-mouthed the contractor publicly, it breached its good faith duties by frustrating the contractor's ability to market certain trademarks for food items effectively.

CMMC Phase II Suspension Requires Reconsideration of Such Requirements in Solicitations
As discussed in more detail here, the U.S. Department of War (DoW) recently issued a memorandum (Memo 26-P-1023, dated July 13, 2026) directing the immediate suspension of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Phase II requirements (Level I and II self assessments are still permitted). Significantly, the memo directs that “all pending and future CMMC implementation milestones across DoW solicitations and contracts are held in abeyance until further notice.” Moreover, the DoW issued a memorandum on implementing these requirements (available here), directing agencies to issue amendments removing CMMC Level 2 and 3 requirements from active solicitations “as soon as practicable.” Contractors should monitor the government’s compliance with this requirement and should be prepared, if needed, to file a bid protest to protect their rights.
