Bid Protests

When the government awards a contract to a competitor, you may want to protest, especially if the government structured the procurement process in a way that prevented you from fairly competing. Conversely, you need to defend an award made to you if a competitor protests.

Whether you protest an award or defend one, Garvey Schubert Barer helps you achieve a favorable outcome. We regularly and successfully litigate or mediate both pre- and post-award contract disputes directly with the federal agency involved, at the U.S. Government Accountability Office or in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. For example, we successfully defended the award of a contract by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to a Native American corporation for the construction and maintenance of fisheries-related projects on a Pacific Northwest river.
