Highlights with Hogan Lovells: Bid Protest Digest | Volume V

This issue of bid protest highlights includes key takeaways from the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) Bid Protest Annual Report to Congress for Fiscal Year 2023, as well as bid protest decisions from the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC) and the GAO. These decisions emphasize important legal principles addressing: (1) organizational conflict of interest investigations; (2) a procuring agency’s duty to evaluate proposals evenhandedly and in accordance with solicitation terms; (3) allegations of bad faith on behalf of government officials; (4) the 8(a) “safe harbor” rule; (5) COFC’s lack of jurisdiction over task order protests; and (6) unequal discussions.

This newsletter is designed to be a valuable resource for our clients, providing updates on recent decisions and keeping them up-to-date on changes in the bid protest landscape. Clients can expect to receive regular updates on the latest bid protest decisions directly in their inboxes.
