DoD Bid Protests
Abstract:
As required by the conference report that accompanied the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021, and in conjunction with the Acquisition Innovation Research Center (AIRC), this study presents an analysis of information on bid protests stemming from Department of Defense (DOD) procurement activities. This report also responds to additional direction from the conferees, regarding agency-level protests in the Joint Explanatory Statement for the NDAA for FY22.The study is based in part on interviews and written survey responses with senior DOD program and procurement personnel, senior DOD procurement attorneys, representatives of industry, and members of the procurement bar.
