Law Glossary
Removal is a procedural mechanism through which a case filed in state court may be transferred to federal court upon the request of one or more parties. Actions filed in state court over which a federal court would have original jurisdiction may be transferred—or removed—to federal court under the removal statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1441. Generally speaking, removal is possible if (1) the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s) are citizens of different states and the case places more than $75,000 in controversy (so-called “diversity” jurisdiction), or (2) the case turns on issues of federal law (so-called “federal question” jurisdiction). In many cases, defendants prefer to be in federal court, and so defendants often analyze early in the case whether removal is possible.

A bid protest is a challenge to the government’s proposed contract award for the procurement of goods and services, or a challenge to the terms of a solicitation for such a contract. A bid protest at the federal level is typically heard at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) but can also be directed to the procuring federal agency, and in certain instances, to the Court of Federal Claims (COFC). Since there are strict timelines for filing a bid protest, it is imperative to consult with counsel. See 4 C.F.R. § 21.2; see also Bid Protests At GAO: A Descriptive Guide (Ninth Edition, 2009). A bid protest is further described at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 33.103; 33.104; and 33.105.
