The attached letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to the Small Business Administration (SBA) clarifying that the injunction in the attached Mission Critical case applies only to the specific contract at issue in Mission Critical, and not to operation of SBA's parity rule more generally, is being distributed for informational purposes. In addition, please note that DOJ is appealing the Mission Critical decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and SBA supports clarifying legislation affirming the principles of parity.
