- Abstract
The article focuses on the importance of contractors filing pre-award bid protests to address solicitation ambiguities and avoid post-award disputes. Topics include a recent case involving General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) using a pre-award protest to clarify the contract type in a solicitation, the potential implications for pricing and risk allocation, and the need for contractors to proactively address ambiguity in solicitations to ensure fair competition and risk mitigation.
