In the realm of bid protests, recent decisions are providing critical insights for contractors and offerors alike. Alissandra McCann at Morrison & Foerster delves into three pivotal cases in her monthly column, shedding light on issues concerning size standards and procurement schedules.
Two decisions offer guidance for U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) schedule holders. These decisions highlight important considerations for drafting blanket purchase agreement proposals, underscoring the need for adherence to established protocols and requirements.
Meanwhile, a separate ruling serves as a cautionary tale for small-business joint ventures. It emphasizes the necessity to remain vigilant of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s two-year rule, a critical factor in maintaining eligibility and compliance.
These cases not only clarify existing laws but also serve as timely reminders for entities navigating the often complex landscape of federal contracting.
