Winston & Strawn LLP represented Triple-S Tube Supply, LP in the purchase of two parcels of real property and improvements located in Conroe and Houston, Texas in the Energy Alloys, LLC chapter 11 bankruptcy case.

What Is a Bid Protest?

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....Read more
