The Customs and Border Protection can now start using the blanket purchase agreements to acquire enterprise IT and application development services from small businesses.
The battle over a set of blanket purchase agreements worth up to $450 million combined is over now that the U.S. Court of Federal Claims has ruled in favor of the Homeland Security Department.
Nine companies filed lawsuits at the court to raise their concerns about debriefings, plus how DHS and the Customs and Border Protection agency evaluated proposals.
The nine protesters were:
- Alpha Omega Integration
- Arch Systems
- AttainX
- Chakrabarti Management Consultancy
- Constellation Inc.
- Ekagra Partners
- Garud Technology Services
- Logistics Systems
- Unissant
More specific details on the allegations are sparse because the filings are heavily redacted. The only indicator of the decision is a posting on the docket stating that the protesters’ motions for judgment have been denied.
