- Title
BID PROTESTS: The Costs are Real, but the Benefits Outweigh Them, PART 1 of 2.
- Authors
GORDON, DANIEL I.
- Abstract
This article series discusses the history, costs, and benefits of bid protesrs, which are legal challenges brought by bidders against the way the U.S. federal goverrnment has conducted ils procurements. In the U.S. federal procurement system, bid protests have existed since the 1920s. Despite the longevity of the bid protest process, however, critics have come to characterize the process as costly and overly complex. This article explains why, in the author's view, the benefits of the bid protest system substantially outweigh the burdens it' imposes on the procurement system.
