GAO Sustains First of 23 Protests of CIO-SP4 Solicitation

https://www.mmmlaw.com/media/gao-sustains-first-of-23-protests-of-cio-sp4-solicitation

On November 23, 2021, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) sustained part of Computer World Services Corp.’s protest of a CIO-SP4 solicitation – a surprising turn of events, since the National Institute of Health IT Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC) had previously won 22 straight protests of its CIO-SP4 acquisitions. CWS claimed the requirement that large businesses who are part of a mentor-protégé program with a small business could only submit two examples of past performance, while other joint ventures or teaming arrangements ...

Turkish Steelmaker, Others Petition Supreme Court to Hear Section 232 Case

https://www.mmmlaw.com/media/turkish-steelmaker-others-petition-supreme-court-to-hear-section-232-case

Julie Mendoza spoke to Inside U.S. Trade about a recently-filed petition at the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari regarding a Section 232 case. The case, which challenges a 2018 tariff increase on Turkish steel, involves the allegation of unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the president. A previous ruling states that the president’s decision was consistent with Commerce’s “underlying finding of the target capacity-utilization level that was the rationale for the predicate threat finding” and ...

GAO Partially Sustains Bid Protest Over CIO-SP4 Treatment of Large Business Mentors

https://www.mmmlaw.com/media/gao-partially-sustains-bid-protest-over-cio-sp4-treatment-of-large-business-mentors

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently announced its decision to sustain a pre-award protest by a mentor-protégé joint venture, challenging the terms of a solicitation issued by multiple government agencies. This decision involved a $50 billion dollar procurement for a Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) known as CIO-SP4, as well as a provision that targeted a mentor-protégé joint venture. The protest asserted that the procurement unfairly disadvantaged large companies in mentor-protégé arrangements. You may read the full decision here. ...

Infrastructure Package Furthers Made-in-America Efforts

https://www.mmmlaw.com/media/infrastructure-package-furthers-made-in-america-efforts

The recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act includes several provisions that aim to expand the Biden Administration’s initiatives supporting American manufacturing through federal procurement. Kelly Kroll recently told the Government Executive that more will be known once the new provisions are put into regulations, although it appears the intent is to bring the various domestic preference rules into alignment so there is consistency throughout the government.

The Federal Government Reinstates the Nondisplacement Rule and Raises the Federal Contractor Minimum Wage to $15 an Hour

https://www.mmmlaw.com/media/new-developments-the-federal-government-reinstates-the-nondisplacement-rule-and-raises-the-federal-contractor-minimum-wage-to-15-an-hour

On November 18, 2021 the White House issued an Executive Order (EO) reinstating requirements for federal contractors to extend offers of employment to incumbent contractor service employees in follow-on contracts for the same or similar services. The same requirement was revoked in a 2019 Executive Order issued by former President Trump. The new EO contains a contract clause for agencies to include in-service contracts and must be flowed down to subcontracts. The text of the contract clause is largely similar to the nondisplacement ...

Reimagining Hospitality Leadership: Opportunities for Women in the C-Suite

https://www.mmmlaw.com/media/reimagining-hospitality-leadership-opportunities-for-women-in-the-c-suite

The rhetoric around the lack of women in corporate leadership positions escalated during 2020 and the onset of the pandemic, but this discussion had little to no impact on diversity in the hospitality industry, as more women than men lost or left hospitality jobs during this period, serving to further reduce the numbers of female talent to possibly draw from for future leadership roles. Companies that are reimagining the makeup of their leadership teams could open many more top leadership roles ...

2021 GAO Bid Protest Annual Report Shows Successful Protest Grounds May Not Be Known at the Outset

https://www.mmmlaw.com/media/2021-gao-bid-protest-annual-report-shows-decreases-in-the-use-of-alternative-dispute-resolution-and-effectiveness-rate

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued its Annual Report to Congress on November 16, 2021, reporting bid protest statistics for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021. The chart below summarizes the statistics as well as provides a quick comparison to previous years. The most salient statistic is the decrease in the number of cases filed with the GAO, but as shown above, for FY 2019, such a decrease is not unprecedented. The slightly lower effectiveness rate, which includes sustained protests and voluntary corrective action by ...
