Effectus represents contractors in bid protests before the Government Accountability Office and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. We focus on protests that matter, where agency error affects competitive standing, revenue, or long-term positioning.

We do not file protests reflexively. We file them strategically.

We routinely handle protests involving:

• Flawed best-value tradeoff decisions

• Unequal treatment of offerors

• Misapplication of evaluation criteria

• Improper sole-source and limited-competition awards

• Staffing, key personnel, and level-of-effort inconsistencies

• Evaluation of proposals inconsistent with the solicitation

• Price realism and cost evaluation errors

Effectus represents contractors in disputes arising during federal contract performance, including claims and appeals before the Boards of Contract Appeals.

We focus on disputes that require clarity, leverage, and disciplined advocacy.

Our Disputes Practice Includes

• Requests for equitable adjustment (REAs)

• Certified claims under the Contract Disputes Act

• Terminations for convenience and default

• Contract interpretation disputes

• Appeals before the CBCA and ASBCA

Effectus advises contractors on procurement strategy and risk at the moments that matter most: before proposals are submitted, before protests are filed, and before disputes escalate.

We focus on decisions that directly affect award probability, protest viability, and long-term competitive positioning.

We counsel contractors on:

• Protest risk and likelihood of success

• Corrective action exposure and strategic implications

• Solicitation ambiguities and errors

• Evaluation criteria interpretation and proposal alignment

• Staffing, key personnel, and level-of-effort risk

• OCI and organizational conflict mitigation strategies

• Teaming and subcontracting risk allocation
