Addressing a Critical Challenge: Evaluation Criteria and Bid Protests

Poorly written or misapplied evaluation criteria heavily contribute to bid protests, causing confusion, reducing transparency, and undermining trust in the acquisition process for both government and industry.

We’ll collaboratively explore:

• How evaluation criteria can create confusion and trigger bid protests.
• Industry perspectives often misunderstood by stakeholders.
• Real-world consequences: strained relationships, extra workloads to address protests, and IPT disruption.
• What trust and transparency means to government and industry.
• Using notional timelines to bridge transparency gaps and align expectations.

A percentage of the proceeds from this event will go to the local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation!
