Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.13.13
In Insight Sys. Corp. v. U.S. (May 6, 2013), Judge Allegra of the CFC concluded that the FAR's "Government Control" exception to the "Late Is Late" doctrine can apply to electronic mail as well as paper submissions, even though the FAR does not specifically address electronic submissions. When an e-mail is received by an initial government server before the submission deadline, that e-mail is considered timely "received," even when a malfunction of the internal e-mail delivery system causes the e-mail not to be delivered to the Contracting Officer until after the deadline.

U.S. Department of Commerce Partially Relaxes Export Controls on Syria
On August 28, the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a final rule that modifies the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to reduce the number of export control restrictions on Syria, in alignment with Executive Order 14312, Providing For The Revocation of Syria Sanctions. The key adjustments made by this rule include the addition of new or expanded license exception eligibility for exports and reexports to Syria (which significantly broadens the number of items that can be exported or reexported to Syria) and the adoption of more permissive license review policies for exports and reexports to Syria.
