Koprince McCall Pottroff – Imagine you’ve submitted a bid for a procurement that you believe your company is a shoo-in for. Nobody comes close to the experience and skills your company brings to the table. A while later, you learn that the new company down the street has been awarded the contract. Feeling wronged, you decide to file a bid protest questioning the award at the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Your lawyer informs you that a bid protest may be dismissed if the protester doesn’t qualify as an interested party. But you were an actual bidder who should have been awarded the contract. Of course you’re an interested party—right?
