Bid Protests & Intervenor

If your company is pursuing government contracts and you have decided to file a bid protest or intervene in one, experience matters. You need a team of lawyers with extensive experience bringing and defending pre-award and post-award federal and state bid protests — especially given the complicated and tight deadlines to file a protest.

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig knows how to navigate the complexities of the bid protest process. Our team, located in and near Washington, D.C., includes former government lawyers (with the NSA, DoD, U.S. Army, and U.S. Marines), government contractors, and attorneys with decades of experience handling bid protests.

Our experience with bid protests

Dunlap Bennett & Ludwig’s attorneys have advised government contractors and those seeking government contracts on all stages of a bid protest. Our law firm has represented clients before federal and state agencies and in various forums, including the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.

Because the bid protest process is not one-size-fits-all, we will work with you to make the best determination and advocate aggressively on your behalf. We regularly counsel clients on the advisability of a bid protest. Lodging a protest is not always in your best interest, may not be economically sensible, or may not make sense to file based on other circumstances. Still, even if the basis for the protest is less than favorable, we may be able to file a strategic protest.

Not only have our government contract attorneys brought and defended a variety of bid protests, but we have also defended our clients’ awards in protests brought by unsuccessful offerors. In those instances, we work closely with agency and Department of Justice counsel to defend the award.
