COFC injunctions are not suggestions

On May 5, 2025, the COFC issued an injuction to the Army to "conduct a new evaluation of the offerors’ initial proposal submissions in accordance with the Solicitation." In September 2025, the Army decided to amend the Solicitation and requested revised proposals. The protestor argued that this decision violated the court order, and the court agreed: "the Court holds that the Army’s actions achieved the same result that the injunction forbade: evaluating altered proposals beyond those included in the initial proposals." Permanent injunction issued.
