Reversing the trial court, the Federal Circuit in Industrial Door Contractors, Inc. v. U.S. (Sept. 22, 2006) upheld the sufficiency of a contract in which the government induced the bidder to dismiss its GAO protest by sending it a letter saying it was qualified to bid and asking, "Is this sufficient?"

On October 20, 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) National Fraud Enforcement Division announced a new whistleblower rewards initiative, the Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program (WHIP). Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald issued a directive earlier this month directing Division leadership to design and implement policies and programs that incentivize whistleblowers to bring forward credible information pertaining to fraud.
