In a dispute involving a pre-award protest of the Army Corps of Engineers’ solicitation for indefinite duration indefinite quantity multiple-award task order contracts for dredging, court of federal claims judgment permanently enjoining the Corps from using the solicitation is reversed where: 1) plaintiff has standing to challenge the solicitation as it has demonstrated a non-trivial competitive injury which can be addressed by judicial relief; but 2) plaintiff did not establish that the solicitation violated 10 U.S.C. sec. 2304(a), as the Corps’ decision to issue the solicitation evinced rational reasoning and consideration of relevant factors.
