In Alabama Aircraft Indus., Inc. v. U.S. (Oct. 7, 2008), the Court of Federal Claims disagreed with a prior protest denial by GAO by holding that the price realism evaluation of the Air Force's multiyear maintenance contract for its KC-135 fleet was fatally flawed because it relied on the unrealistic assumption of a non-aging fleet without adequately informing the offerors of that assumption. In addition to a ordering a complete resolicitation, Judge Lettow granted the protestor its bid and proposal costs "because of the lengthy process involved with the procurement."

After hosting a series of workshops and issuing multiple rounds of materials, including enforcement notices, checklists, templates, and other guidance, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has proposed regulations to implement the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (SB 253) and the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (SB 261) (both as amended by SB 219), which require large U.S.-based businesses operating in California to disclose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate-related risks. CARB also published a Notice of Public Hearing and an Initial Statement of Reasons along with the proposed regulations. While CARB’s final rules were statutorily required to be promulgated by July 1, 2025, these are still just proposals. CARB’s proposed rules largely track earlier guidance regarding how CARB intends to define compliance obligations, exemptions, and key deadlines, and establish fee programs to fund regulatory operations.
