In L-3 Communications Corp., ASBCA No. 54920 (May 5, 2008), the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals upheld the challenge to the award of a task order for the development and support of F-15 training devices under a breach of contract theory, finding that the cost evaluation approach used by the Air Force denied L-3 its contractual right to a "fair opportunity to be considered." The Board awarded L-3 its bid and proposal costs, but rejected the claim for lost profits and other damages, finding that L-3 had not proven that, but for the evaluation error, it would have been awarded the contract.

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. The new WHIP incentive pays awards of $10,000 to $30,000 for qualifying tips at or around the time criminal charges are filed or unsealed, rather than years later at case resolution.
