Webinar: Bid Protests at Fiscal Year-End: Identifying Grounds and Improving Your Chances of Success

In late September each year, the federal government issues a tidal wave of contracts across industry. The reason for this is relatively straightforward: “use it or lose it.” After holding funds back for the first three quarters of its fiscal year, the government pushes to make contract awards to protect against future budget cuts due to underspending. This frenzy in procurement actions often leads to rushed proposal evaluations and hurried award decisions that may leave deserving contractors out in the cold well before winter arrives. To protect themselves, contractors must know whether they have a basis to protest an award decision and what increases their chances of success.

Join Casey McKinnon and Stephen Tobin on September 29, 2026, for an informative discussion about identifying fruitful protest grounds, why many protests fail, and how to increase your chances for success.
