Whay Law Firm in Washington DC Navigates Clients Through Government Contract Protests
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) receives thousands of bid protests each year. In 2016, protests were effective 46% of the time. In order to convince the GAO to sustain a protest or another government agency to take corrective action, a contractor must secure strong legal representation – an attorney who has extensive and specific experience in both state and federal government contract litigation.
The Whay Law Firm is conveniently located in Washington, DC, and in close proximity to the Court of Federal Claims and the GAO. As a government contract lawyer, Mr. Whay helps businesses with protests, claims, subcontracts, teaming agreements, understanding the FAR, and all other government contract issues. It is imperative that you contact Whay Law Firm as soon as you realize the terms of a government solicitation must be protested.
Protesting the Terms of the Solicitation
If you believe there is a problem with the solicitation, you must protest the issue prior to the due date for proposals, quotes, or bids. If you wait to see if you win the procurement, it will be too late to challenge the terms of the solicitation. Common solicitation problems include the following:
- overly restrictive terms
- conflicting or ambiguous terms
- using the wrong NAICS code
- failing to set-aside the procurement for small businesses
Filing a GAO protest without the legal guidance of a government contract protest attorney is risky and exposes the contractor to having their protest dismissed or overlooking important grounds of protest. Ultimately, for success you require an attorney who knows how to seek out any mistakes made by the agency or prove the agency acted unreasonably and failed to comply with procurement law.
