bob7947 Posted July 20, 2024 Report Share Posted July 20, 2024 So, you think that Other Trasactions are exempt from bid protest jurisdiction at the Court of Federal Claims? Not so fast. I posted this protest opinion on the Home Page on Friday. If you handle Other Trasactions, you may want to take a look at the Opinion at Independent Rough Terrain Center, LLC v. U. S. and Taylor Defense Products, LLC, No. 24-160, July 16, 2024. Quote In sum, the Solicitation here concerns an OT follow-on production contract for goods and services, and nothing in the OT statutes expressly removes OT follow-on contracts from the purview of this Court’s jurisdiction. The Court holds that it has jurisdiction to review a follow-on production contract that seeks to acquire property or services for the Government, whether the agency issued the follow-on solicitation under OT authority or under FAR authority. Accordingly, the Court denies the Government’s and Taylor’s Motions to Dismiss on Rule 12(b)(1) grounds because the Court finds it has subject-matter jurisdiction over the protest.

formerfed Posted July 22, 2024 Report Share Posted July 22, 2024 Thanks Bob. This is a well laid out explanation and logical decision. I assumed the Space X case exempted follow on production contracts from the Courts purview but this overrules that thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
