LOCKE V. UNITED STATES
283 F.2d 521 (1960)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a suit for lost profits from an alleged breach of contract.
Locke (P), contractor sued United States (D) for lost profits resulting from an alleged
breach of a requirements contract covering repair of typewriters, and for damages allegedly
resulting from D's improper refusal to accept a bid on another typewriter repair contract.
Both parties filed motions for summary judgment.
FACTS: Locke (P) was the owner of a typewriter repair company. P was awarded a contract
by GSA for the repair, maintenance and reconditioning of typewriters in San Diego. P was to
be put on a mandatory list of contractors to be used for that purpose. The agencies that
were to use that contractor list were not under any duty to pick any specific contractor to
perform the work; they only had to pick one from the list. P won the bid and accepted work
under the contract. P was then terminated from the list. P filed an appeal to the Board of
Review wherein it was agreed that the contract was terminated without proper cause, but that
his claims for lost profits and defamation were denied. P appealed.
