Overview
Law360 quoted Tyler Evans in an August 18, 2022 article titled "Claims Court Prototype Ruling Expands Protest Triggers."
The article discusses a recent opinion by Judge Ryan T. Holte involving the US Court of Federal Claims’ jurisdiction over protests relating to certain other transaction authority or "OTA" agreements. Judge Holte concluded that a dispute involving an OTA could fall within the Court's jurisdiction if it contemplates the award of a follow-on contract. The extent of the Court’s jurisdiction to hear protests relating to OTAs was not clear before the decision.
In response Tyler Evans stated: "The ruling has important implications for companies seeking to protest OTAs, opening up the potential for protests in other circumstances where that agreement isn't concretely linked to a future procurement contract."
