  1. Jamaal: That paragraph of the FAR starts with ..."with respect to any protest filed with the GAO, ..." I think the articles you provided give me the details I need on agency level protests. The main difference is that for agency level protests, the agency must prove a "delay" occurred, in order to be able to use the funding originally committed. i.e. the protest delayed or prevented the agency from making an award or proceeding with the procurement. Thanks for the assist! Drew
  2. Thanks - that covers protests to GAO. Any idea about protests to the agency?
  3. If you receive a protest near the end of the FY, and the award is delayed until the following FY, do you lose the prior year funds originally planned to be used? In other words, does the protest itself shift the bonafide need from one year to the following? I have not dealt with a lot of protests, but I can't see how you could award a new contract after the FY rolls over, with 1 year money from the prior year. Drew
  4. Does anyone out there have any contingency plans on how to ensure essential contracted services continue in the event of a Government shutdown? We are much more reliant on contractors now than we were in 1995. I was not with the Government back then, but I do recall seeing "mission essential" personnel lists. Any assistance would be appreciated.
  5. We awarded an O&M contract when I worked for the Coast Guard for the base year plus 9 potential option years. I believe it was considered an IDIQ contract, although it was really more of a hybrid FFP with some IDIQ line items. We did include an Economic Price Adjustment provision for years 6-10, to mitigate the risk of wild fluctuations in material costs. Check with your legal advisor, but at the time it was legit.
