When you track industry news and see the number of bid protests out there, at least for me, it seems like there are more out there now than in the past. If you look at the data in the report in the link below, the number of protests were actually decreasing until FY2023 when they spiked – 2024 showed a decrease – but still more protests than in 2022. This note was also quite interesting – “The most prevalent grounds upon which GAO sustained protests in FY 2024 were (1) unreasonable technical evaluations; (2) flawed selection decisions; and (3) unreasonable cost or price evaluations.” Bottom line, if you feel you should protest, and your focus was on one of these 3… you may ended up successful.
