In Latvian Connection, LLC (Aug. 11, 2015), GAO held that the Army did not provide the protester enough time to respond to a "substantial" solicitation amendment when, although the amendment was posted to the Army Single Face to Industry (AFSI) website six days prior to the response deadline, it was not posted to FedBizOpps.gov and the protester did not see the posting on the AFSI until two days before the deadline. GAO rejected the Army's argument that the protester had constructive knowledge of the AFSI posting, holding that offerors are only charged with constructive knowledge of procurement actions published on a designated, government-wide point of entry, which, for business opportunities greater than $25,000, is only FedBizOpps.gov.

Specifically, the DOJ declined to criminally prosecute Bosch’s violations of the Export Administration Regulations’ (EAR) Foreign Direct Product Rule (FDPR), which apparently resulted from two Bosch subsidiaries’ export of products and software manufactured with equipment that was the direct product of U.S. software or technology to Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and its “Entity List” affiliates, including Huawei Tech. Investment Co., Ltd., Hong Kong (collectively, Huawei). The same day, the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a parallel civil administrative settlement with Bosch.
