0

With more contractors fighting over procurements, it is important for companies that conduct business with the federal government, or that are thinking about conducting business with the federal government, to understand the bid protest process.  Such an understanding is necessary for businesses that want to be competitive in the federal marketplace.

Across the board, the volume of bid protests is up, way up.  Both the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the United States Court of Federal Claims have seen huge increases in their protest dockets over the past couple of years.  As the Obama Administration moves forward with its goal of cutting wasteful spending on contracts and getting better value for the taxpayer dollar, there is no doubt that this bid protest frenzy will likely continue.

This coming Wednesday, April 25, 2012, Michael R. Golden and Heather Kilgore Weiner, Pepper Hamilton LLP, are presenting a Webinar entitled “Bid Protest Explosion – An Overview of Federal Bid Protests.”  Topics will include an overview of the different bid protest forums including agencies, GAO and the Court of Federal Claims, and the pros and cons of each forum, as well as a discussion on how to decide whether to protest or intervene in a protest.  In addition, this webinar with discuss common issues related to pre-award and post-award bid protests, the importance of a government debriefing and the implications of the statutory Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) stay of contract performance and temporary restraining orders.
