FEATURE COMMENT: COFC Pushes Back on GAO Waiver and Cost-Realism Analyses
Client Alert | 1 min read | 10.14.21

Of particular note, contractors considering capping costs in their proposals should carefully consider when and how agencies may evaluate performance risk; and both protesters and intervenors must stay vigilant and diligently pursue potential protest grounds.
