mtclymer Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 What happened was I kept pushing back on the CO, referencing the FAR and explaining consideration. The CO took it up her chain and eventually they let it go. It doesn't help on all my new awards, but I did feel vindicated. Thanks all!

ji20874 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 So, is your victory a meaningful and substantive victory, or a pyrrhic victory? I wish more participants in the Government contracts arena understood foundational principles, like consideration. So it is good if your effort helped some participants better understand. But I know that sometimes, victories come at a cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always meaningful! Especially when its contracts basics. For one, I wish people had spent more time educating me (when smacking me down) earlier in my career, so I take the time and make the effort to help develop others. And second, every time I have to make an argument, it's always from a slightly different perspective or situation, so I'm really learning it myself too. Thanks bob7947 for fixing my formatting.
