Government Contracts: Important Virginia Federal Court Ruling on Enforceability of Subcontracts Alert - August 26, 2010

A recent federal court decision creates a new risk for subcontractors to small business or 8(a) prime contractors on federal set-aside contracts whose subcontracts do not comply with the rules of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia held that an 8(a) set-aside prime contract violated SBA's "ostensible subcontractor" and "fifty percent" rules and, therefore, a subcontract between the 8(a) prime contractor and a non-8(a) subcontractor was unenforceable.

The Supreme Court Decision in Citizens United v. FEC

This alert reviews key aspects of last week's landmark Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, in which the Court cleared the way for corporations and labor unions to contribute to political campaigns in a more direct way - and permitted those entities to pay for express advocacy as long as the advocacy is not coordinated with any campaign or political party. It also points to underreported aspects of the ruling, and areas of campaign finance rules that will remain the same.
