COFC Chides Government for Providing Misleading Information about Contract Performance Date; COFC No. 16-829, Level 3 Communications LLC v. United States

Request for a temporary restraining order blocking contract performance is granted, where the plaintiff demonstrated immediate injury due to the government allowing performance of the contract to begin while the award was being contested, and where the integrity of the procurement process must be protected, in light of the government providing misleading to the Court of Federal Claims regarding the date contract performance would begin.
