Government Contracts Bid Protest Attorney Focused on Speed, Strategy, and Results
Protesting Unreasonable Bid Evaluation and Award Decisions
When a government agency makes an unreasonable award decision, it can deprive a deserving bidder of a long-term and lucrative contract. Companies competing for government contracts face new and heightened complexities, from determining the viability of a bid protest to successfully challenging or defending the agency’s proposal evaluation and award decision.
Strategic Resolution of Bid Protests [Legal & Consulting Under One Roof – Move to Homepage]
Benson Law Firm guides our clients through the full bid protest lifecycle, beginning with the critical decision of whether and where to file a protest. We team with clients to determine the viability of protest grounds, the most beneficial forum, how to meet tight filing deadlines, and whether the decision to protest aligns with their business and strategic objectives.
A Bid Protest Is a Federal Contract Dispute
Bid protests are not academic exercises. They are high-stakes disputes between contractors and the government that must be handled quickly, precisely, and with a clear understanding of agency behavior.
You should speak with a federal contract dispute attorney if an award decision involves:
- Failure to follow the solicitation’s proposal evaluation criteria
- Unequal treatment of offerors
- Flawed technical, price, or past performance evaluations
- Unreasonable determination of best-value tradeoffs
- Unfair limiting of the competitive range
- Procedural violations that affect the award decision
Not every loss supports a protest. A qualified government contracts lawyer can assess your situation and advise you on the best course of action.
Bid Protest Support o
At Benson Law Office, we take a holistic approach to evaluating and filing bid protests.
Before filing a protest, we evaluate:
- Whether the agency error is material to the award
- Whether the record is likely to support the protest
- Which forum creates the most leverage
- How the protest fits into your broader government contracting strategy
Sometimes a bid protest is the right move. Sometimes it is leverage. Sometimes it creates more risk than reward. Our role is to help you make that call early and confidently.
aProtUpFiling and Defending Federal Bid Protests
As a specialized government contracts law firm, we represent contractors before various federal agencies in agency-level bid protests, as well as pre-award and post-award bid protests before:
- The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO)
- The U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC)
- The Federal Aviation Administration’s Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (ODRA
- Protest appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals or the Federal Circuit
We also defend contract awardees when competitors file protests, working to preserve contract awards while minimizing disruption to contract performance and agency relationships.
Why Contractors Hesitate to Escalate Disputes
Most contractors don’t avoid protests because they lack merit. They hesitate because they fear:
- Escalating a dispute with an important agency customer
- Being labeled “difficult” during future procurements
- Losing leverage by acting too aggressively
- Spending legal fees without improving their position
Those concerns are valid. We work closely with our protest clients to assess and mitigate the risks of a protest. If a bid protest makes business sense to the contractor, we clearly assert the protest while taking care to preserve relationships with agency personnel.
