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

When a FOIA fee waiver actually has to be granted.

Federal FOIA fee waivers must be granted when disclosure is "in the public interest" and not primarily commercial. The four-factor analysis (subject matter, informative value, contribution to public understanding, requester's commercial interest) is well-established but routinely misapplied by agencies as discretionary when it is mandatory if the factors are met.

Why It Matters

A properly framed waiver request that addresses each factor explicitly is hard for an agency to deny without creating an appellate record. Most denials lose on appeal when the requester points to the framework.

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.
