Overview

Federal agencies are required to award government contracts in accordance to various acquisition laws and regulations. If a party interested in a government contract believes that an agency has violated procurement law or regulation in a solicitation for goods or services, or the award of a contract, it may file a bid protest.

This briefing will explain the basics of a bid protest - where to file when to file, and the pros and cons of each forum (agency, with the GAO, or in court). Additionally, this briefing will cover considerations vendors should make before filing a protest.
