Court Denies HUD’s Appeal in PBCA Litigation

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit denied HUD’s request for a rehearing and rehearing en banc in the ongoing PBCA lawsuit. In March 2014, the Court ruled in favor of the PBCA plaintiffs, determining that HUD acted inappropriately when classifying the PBCA contracts as cooperative agreements. In June 2014, HUD submitted a request for the rehearing. Stay tuned for additional information, as to how the denial impacts any subsequent rebid of the PBCA contracts and the tasks PBCAs perform.
