Abstract

This is the second part of a two-part series. Part I, 67 GC ¶ 216, reviewed several reform proposals being considered by Congress. This Feature Comment (a) assesses the courts’ role in bid protest reform in light of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s en banc decision in Percipient.ai, (b) reviews the potential benefits of expanded debriefings, and (c) explains how agency-level bid protests could be reformed, using agencies’ own best practices, to make them more effective.
