I am surprised that this would fall under the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Guaranteeing the right to enter a contract forces state authorities to behave themselves. In this case, the plaintiffs argue that the firms lack the discretion to enter the kind of contracts they want. This sounds like a matter for the Civil Rights act of 1964.
