How To Win Bid Protests at the Court of Federal Claims

During this course you will take a deep dive into federal bid protest litigation at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. We will specifically analyze: (1) choosing the right forum (Court of Federal Claims, GAO, and agency-level actions), (2) deadlines and timelines under the Competition in Contracting Act – and how pre-award and post-award protests are impacted by it, and (3) we will also focus on motions practice and most common and successful grounds for bid protests. We will also discuss Protective Orders and how to protect procurement sensitive information pursuant to the Rules of the Court of Federal Claims and what remedies the Court of Federal Claims can and cannot offer.
