Background & Context

3 stories

3.1

Bid-protest deadlines run from knowledge, not award.

Federal GAO and most state procurement protest windows start running when the protester "knew or should have known" of the basis for protest — often before formal award notice. The clock can be days, not weeks. Waiting for the official "you lost" email is the single most-common reason valid protests get dismissed for timeliness.

Why It Matters

A late protest is dead on arrival regardless of merit. The vendor with grounds to protest needs to act on solicitation defects before submitting a bid, not after losing.

3.2

Municipal bond continuing-disclosure events most issuers miss.

MSRB Rule 15c2-12 requires issuers to file notice of certain events within 10 business days. The list runs to 16 categories now, including some (insolvency of obligated person, modifications to rights of bondholders, financial obligations material to investors) that are easily missed without a tracking process.

Why It Matters

A pattern of late or missed event filings can trigger SEC enforcement and impair the issuer's future market access. The reputational cost outlasts the immediate penalty.

3.3

Open-meeting notice defects that void the action taken.

Most state open-meeting laws require posted notice with sufficient specificity for the public to know what is being decided. Generic "discussion of personnel matters" or "old business" descriptions routinely fail challenge, voiding any vote taken on items not specifically noticed.

Why It Matters

A voided action requires a re-vote at a properly noticed meeting — including any contract execution that depended on it. Counterparties to voided contracts have leverage they did not have before the defect surfaced.
