Presenter: Stephen Bacon, Shareholder, Rogers Joseph O'Donnell

Bacon is a shareholder in the Washington, D.C. office of the law firm Rogers Joseph O’Donnell, where he represents government contractors in bid protests, claims, investigations, and suspension and debarment proceedings. He frequently litigates cases at the Court of Federal Claims, the Government Accountability Office, the Boards of Contract Appeals, and the Small Business Administration’s Office of Hearings and Appeals.

Description: Bid protests play a critical role in the federal procurement process. They exist to ensure that contracts are awarded in a manner that is fair and consistent with laws and regulations. But the rules governing when, how, where, and on what grounds a protest may be filed are complex. This webinar will cover the fundamentals contractors need to know so that they can use the bid protest process to their competitive advantage.

Participants will learn about the following key subjects:

The types of protests that may be filed including pre-award challenges to the terms of a solicitation and post-award challenges to an agency’s evaluation and source selection decision.

The primary forums for adjudicating bid protests including Agency-level protests, the Government Accountability Office, and the Court of Federal Claims.

The rules that dictate who can file a protest, when a protest must be filed, and how debriefings impact the timeline for a bid protest.

The legal and business considerations that should drive the decision to file a bid protest in both the pre-award and post-award phases.

How to evaluate potential protest grounds, make credible allegations, and implement a protest strategy that will maximize your chances of success.
