TANKER CONTROVERSY: QUESTIONS THE AIR FORCE MUST ANSWER
On May 29, 10:44*am, wrote:
Everybody protests awards they didn't get. *It is the great American whinnying way. -- Especially under the current rules, under which there's no penalty for a frivolous protest. Even if you think you have only a slim chance of winning the protest, it's a slim chance to score a multibillion dollar contract with the only cost being the time your legal team spends on it- which is comparative peanuts. I read an article on DefenseTech in which an Air Force procurement officer stated that protests of the contract award are considered pretty much inevitable, to the point where they're starting to build time into their project schedules to deal with them. Unless the rules change I predict that the vast majority of future major defense contracts will have to deal with some kind of post-award protest. -JTD |
