to L-3. This court, in many cases, has found that the loss of the opportunity to fairly compete for a contract constitutes irreparable harm. See, e.g., ViroMed Labs., Inc. v. United States, 87 Fed.Cl. 493, 503 (2009) (noting that bid preparation and proposal costs are not equivalent to potential profits from a government contract); Hosp. Klean of Tex., Inc. v. United States, 65 Fed.Cl. 618, 624 (2005) (“Here, absent injunctive relief, [the protestor] will lose the opportunity to earn the profit it would have made under this contract. Such loss of profit, stemming from a lost opportunity to compete for a contract on a level playing field has been found sufficient to constitute irreparable harm.”) (citations omitted); Overstreet Elec. Co. v. United States, 47 Fed.Cl. 728, 744 (2000) (<HOLDING>). Defendant asserts that recent precedent shows
holding potential damage to reputation to constitute irreparable harm holding that potential loss of a contract constitutes irreparable injury recognizing that the loss of skilled employees critical to a companys performance in a specialized field may constitute an irreparable harm holding that monetary damages do not generally constitute irreparable harm holding that the potential loss of valuable business may constitute irreparable harm
