March Bid Protest Roundup

Morrison Foerster – Neither rain nor sleet nor quarantine restrictions stop bid protests or our monthly roundup.  Thus far the virus has not resulted in dramatic changes to GAO processes, as they have been almost completely electronic from the start.  It is possible, though, that contractors may see more written debriefings, debriefings conducted by phone, or delayed debriefings, all of which may have impacts on potential bid protests. This installment of our monthly Law360 bid protest spotlight examines three protest decisions addressing challenges to unavailability of key personnel, disparate evaluations, and NAICS code designations.
