SourceAmerica et al v. U.S. Department of Education, et. al. Doc. 88 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Alexandria Division SOURCEAMERICA,et aL, Plaintiffs, Case No. l:17-cv-893 V. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION,eta/., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiffs SourceAmerica and Lakeview Center, Inc., nonprofits that seek to enhance economic opportunities for the blind, requestjudicial review ofthe decision ofan arbitration panel, convened by the Secretary of Education, that concluded the Department of the Army ("Army") violated the Randolph-Sheppard Act when the Army sought to award to plaintiffs a contract for services in Army dining facilities rather than to intervenor, the Kansas Department for Children and Families, a state agency that also seeks to enhance economic opportunities for the blind. This is a somewhat curious situation—it is, in essence, a dispute between organizations, both of which seek to advance the economic interests of the blind, as to which is entitled to a preference in the Army's contracting decision. And this curious situation is further compounded by the involved factual, legal, and procedural history ofthis case. At issues now are the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment. The motions have been fully briefed and argued and are now ripe for disposition. Dockets.Justia.com
