Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.10.15
The Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy recently issued guidance to prepare DoD’s contracting workforce for the increase in GSA FSS procurements that generally take place as the fiscal year comes to a close. This "reminder" reiterates the requirement that contracting officers must make their own determination of price reasonableness and outlines the standard procedures to follow, including the requirements for DoD to seek additional discounts and to maximize competition when placing orders through GSA FSS.

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.
