In today’s competitive federal marketplace, bid protests are an almost inevitable feature of many infrastructure procurements. As a contractor, you can utilize bid protests to go after awards that improperly went to your competitors. But by the same token, your competitors can challenge your awards, too. Successful contractors ensure they understand the rules and regulations governing bid protests and how to successfully navigate the protest process both as a protestor and as an intervenor (a contractor defending a contract award).
In this webinar, experienced government contracting attorney Maria Panichelli guides attendees through the protest process from both points of view:
- Learn the who, what, when, where, why, and how of asserting bid protests,
- How to distinguish between pre-award and post-award protests,
- Identify and analyze potential protest arguments,
- Properly calculate and meet protest deadlines.
- Learn about debriefings and how to utilize this tool (and others) to gather information that may support a protest.
Switching to the intervenor’s side, Maria walks attendees through common defense strategies for dismissal and denial of protests and explain how to work with agency counsel to defend and maintain your contract award.
