How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

holding that even if an agency interpretation “could be owed Chevron deference, we do not defer to the agency when the statute is unambiguous”
holding that Section 8127 is mandatory and requires the VA “to apply the Rule of Two to all contracting determinations and to award contracts to veteran-owned small businesses”
holding that the exception applied because the contracts at issue would be fully performed is less than two years, a period \too short to complete judicial review of the lawfulness of the procurement.\
observing that the “clause announc[ing] an objective . . . [did] not change the plain meaning of the operative clause”
stating that \the word 'shall' usually connotes a requirement\ and equating \ shall \ with \ must \
noting that “[w]hen a statute distinguishes between ‘may’ and ‘shall,’ it is generally clear that ‘shall’ imposes a mandatory duty”
