# SBA Opposes ATI Suspension Relief

The Small Business Administration is opposing ATI Government Solutions’ request to temporarily lift its suspension from federal contracting, arguing that the court cannot grant the remedy ATI seeks and that ATI has not substantiated its claimed business losses. The suspension remains in effect and, under the 18-month limit cited in the article, is scheduled to end April 21, 2027, unless further Justice Department proceedings extend the timeline.

- Federal contractors considering ATI for subcontracting or teaming should account for its current suspended status when evaluating eligibility and performance risk.
- Companies with business interests affected by ATI’s status can follow the court case and any Justice Department proceedings, which could affect the suspension timeline or ATI’s eligibility for federal work.
