Meeting US Government Contract Bid Protests Procedural Requirements

 As a disappointed bidder or successful offeror, finding the legal and factual basis for litigating or defending a protest action can be tricky.

When reviewing a substantial amount of bid protests decisions, government contractors fall short of the legal requirements and overcoming the crucial “reasonableness test” and ‘rationality” arguments needed to prevail.

Complying with 4 CFR Part 21 (GAO bid protest regulations) and FAR Part 33 can be confusing. Knowing how to articulate that the government acted unreasonably in your protest letter is often very difficult for contractors.
