In Alabama Aircraft Indus., Inc.--Birmingham v. U.S. (Nov. 17, 2009), the Federal Circuit reversed the lower court for rewriting the RFP and then finding that the agency had not conducted a reasonable price realism analysis, when its review should have been limited to whether the agency's evaluation was consistent with the criteria as set forth in the RFP. The appeals court noted that this was not a case in which the agency had failed to consider an important aspect of the situation, but, rather, had considered it in a reasonable way different from that articulated by the lower court.

On August 19, 2025, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance (“Senate Finance Committee”) sent Paul Atkins, Chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a letter calling on the SEC to investigate White River Energy Corp (“White River”). In the letter, the Senate Finance Committee confirmed a criminal investigation into White River related to the sale of so-called “tribal tax credits” that according to both Congress and the IRS, do not exist. The letter further states that White River allegedly earned millions of dollars selling these credits and has not been forthcoming with investors regarding the existence of the criminal investigation. According to the Senate Finance Committee, White River has failed to file financial disclosure documents with the SEC since March 15, 2024, missing six consecutive reporting periods. The letter instructs White River to disclose the existence of the DOJ criminal tax investigation, and calls on the SEC to take action if White River fails to do so.
