Notable COFC decision regarding OTAs

Don, why do you find the decision notable? Is it because the CoFC found it had jurisdiction to hear the protest, or for another reason?

Yes.

I wonder now if GAO will use similar logic in considering OTA protests?

Although the Court ultimately rejected Hydraulics’ protest on the merits, the Court’s willingness to exercise jurisdiction is a welcome development.  OTA protest jurisdiction still remains somewhat unsettled, but Hydraulics provides helpful guidance to protesters on the factors that may militate in favor of a challenge to an OTA award.
