What happens if a contract is protested?
Protests must be made in writing to the procurement officer no later than seven days after the basis for the protest is known or should have been known, whichever is earlier. Protest must contain the name and address of the protester, appropriate identification of the procurement, a statement of the basis for the protest, and any exhibits or evidence to support the protest. A decision on the protest shall be made by the procurement officer in writing as expeditiously as possible after receiving all relevant, requested information. The vendor has the right to appeal. The subsequent appeal by the vendor to the Appeals Board shall be filed within 10 days of the receipt of notice of the final procurement agency action.
