Competition for government contracts has never been tougher. And while the deck is stacked in favor of the federal government, it is not uncommon for a contracting officer or source selection evaluation board to make a mistake. When they do, your best bet is to file a bid protest with the Government Accountability Office. The GAO helps keeps the government honest and ensures that the government follows the rules of the procurement that it sets up.

But even after you win a government contract, your troubles may not be over. Change orders seem to be a constant phenomena and sometimes the Government needs to be convinced to pay your firm its due. I can help you prepare well-supported and convincing requests for equitable adjustment, claims, and ASBCA appeals, to help ensure that you don’t lose money because the government changed the terms of the contract.

After nearly fifteen years of representing the government, I know where the most common errors in procurements occur and what it takes to convince a contracting officer that you’re entitled to an adjustment in the cost of the contract.
