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
Hatch Act restrictions that catch federal employees off-guard.
Less-restricted federal employees may engage in partisan political activity off-duty — but never on-duty, never in the workplace, never using government property, and never while wearing identifying agency clothing. Social media posts from a personal device while on duty count as on-duty activity.
Why It Matters
Hatch Act violations carry penalties from reprimand to removal. Career employees with strong records have been removed for posts that took 30 seconds to write at lunch.
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.
