Back to the Future: CBCA to Implement New Electronic Docketing System
Client Alert | 1 min read | 01.03.25
On December 17, 2024, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (Board) announced its plan to launch a new Electronic Docketing System (EDS). Once implemented, the Board will require use of the new EDS for most submissions.
For individuals already registered with the Government Accountability Office’s Electronic Protest Docketing System (EPDS), the EDS interface and functionality will be similar. As with EPDS, it appears that EDS submissions will be accessible only to those private-party and agency representatives litigating the matter.
The Board originally planned to launch the new EDS on January 1, but the Board has temporarily postponed the launch to allow practitioners more time to register. In the meantime, contractors and their counsel should be aware of this impending change and review the Board’s guidance (linked here) to ensure timely and appropriate filings in CDA appeals and FEMA arbitrations.

DOJ Signals Increased Antitrust Scrutiny of Algorithmic Pricing in Willow Bridge Decision
Algorithmic pricing tools commonly used by businesses to increase efficiency and profits are under increasing antitrust scrutiny. This summer, federal regulators, state attorneys general, and state legislatures grappled with competing businesses providing nonpublic, competitively sensitive data to common algorithmic platforms. The Third Circuit deepened an emerging circuit split with the Ninth Circuit on algorithmic pricing liability, reviving antitrust claims against Atlantic City casino-hotels in a decision with direct implications for any company that uses a common pricing platform. See Crowell’s recent client alert. And New Jersey enacted two landmark laws—the FAIR Act and the Fair Price Protection Act—directly regulating algorithmic rent-setting and surveillance pricing.
