Government Contracts: Understanding the Bid Protest Process (Audio-only)
Aug. 20, 2009Overview
August 20, 2009, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm (E.D.T.)
Government contracts are typically subject to full and open competition requirements that are enforced through the bid protest process, in which losing offerors have the right to challenge the Government’s source selection process. If a protest is successful, the Government may take corrective action, which could include a re-evaluation of proposals and a new award decision. Whether a contractor files its own protest or wins a contract and is forced to defend one, contractors who do business with the Government must understand the bid protest process and its practical impact on business.
This One-Hour Briefing will provide an introduction to the bid protest process and best practices for protesting an award decision or defending another offeror’s protest. Jon W. Burd and Eric W. Leonard of Wiley Rein LLP will provide insights into the various bid protest fora, including the Government Accountability Office, Court of Federal Claims, and individual agency reviews. Among the key topics that will be discussed:
- Overview of the bid protest process, the “stay” of award or performance under the Competition in Contracting Act, and stop-work orders
- Forum selection
- Bid protest timeline and deadlines for pre- and post-award protests
- Protective orders and their practical impact on the process
- Key protest issues frequently litigated
- Best practices for filing or defending a protest

Arkansas, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island: Audio-only live webcasts are not approved for credit.
1Indiana: Considered a distance education course. There is a 6 credit limit per year.
2 New York: Newly admitted attorneys may not take non-transitional course formats such as on-demand audio or video programs or live webcasts for CLE credit. Newly admitted attorneys not practicing law in the United States, however, may earn 12 transitional credits in non-traditional formats.
3Ohio: To confirm that the live webcast has been approved, please refer to the list of Ohio’s Approved Self Study Activities at http://www.sconet.state.oh.us. Online programs are considered self-study. Ohio attorneys have a 6 credit self-study limit per biennial compliance period. The Ohio CLE Board states that attorneys must have a 100% success rate in clicking on timestamps to receive ANY CLE credit for an online program.
4 Pennsylvania: A live webcast may be viewed individually or in a group setting. Credit may be granted to an attorney who views a live webcast individually. There is a 4.0 credit limit per year for this type of viewing. A live webcast viewed in a group setting receives live participatory credit if the program is open to the public and advertised at least 30 days prior to the program. Live webcasts viewed in a group setting that do not advertise at least 30 days prior the program will be considered "in-house", and therefore denied credit.
Running time and CLE credit hours are not necessarily the same. Please be aware that many states do not permit credit for luncheon speakers.
Note that some states limit the number of credit hours attorneys may claim for online CLE activities, and state rules vary with regard to whether online CLE activities qualify for participatory or self-study credits. For more information, refer to your state CLE website or call Customer Service at (800) 260-4PLI (4754) or email: info@pli.edu.
If you have already received credit for attending some or the entire program, please be aware that state administrators do not permit you to accrue additional credit for repeat viewing even if an additional credit certificate is subsequently issued.
