When it comes to bid protests and contract claims, that old saying "Choose your battles wisely" is dead on.
With millions -- sometimes billions -- of dollars at stake, it is no fun to lose a competitive procurement. But when should you file a formal protest? What are your other options? How do you take emotion out of the decision-making? What can you do to increase your chances of winning?
These are critical questions. A wrong decision or a failure to understand and follow the rules only compounds the loss.
Fedmarket's course devoted to bid protests and contract claims will be taught by leading legal experts from Perkins Coie, LLP. The Perkins Coie team will help you make sound legal and business decisions, delving into critical issues such as--
* Ensuring a level playing field.
* Contesting orders under GSA schedule and IDIQ contracts.
* Gathering intelligence through effective debriefings.
* Understanding protest realities.
* Selecting the optimal protest forum.
Our speakers will address the contract disputes process and the resolution of claims through partnering, negotiation, ADR and formal litigation. They will focus on such issues as--
* Understanding the contract disputes process.
* Using ADR to resolve disputes prior to litigation.
* Litigating contract claims (when all else fails).
