A federal contract is a binding contract or agreement with an authorized official of any agency or department of the U.S. Government for the purpose of purchasing goods, products or services of any kind, or purchasing, renting, or leasing property, for the direct use or benefit of the U.S. Government. Federal contracts are the procurement mechanism the U.S. Government uses to obtain such goods, products, services, and property across all sectors and industries. Federal contracts may be express or implied and may be of various different types, e.g., fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, time and materials, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ).

A bid protest is a challenge to the government’s proposed contract award for the procurement of goods and services, or a challenge to the terms of a solicitation for such a contract. A bid protest at the federal level is typically heard at the Government Accountability Office (GAO) but can also be directed to the procuring federal agency, and in certain instances, to the Court of Federal Claims (COFC). Since there are strict timelines for filing a bid protest, it is imperative to consult with counsel. See 4 C.F.R. § 21.2; see also Bid Protests At GAO: A Descriptive Guide (Ninth Edition, 2009). A bid protest is further described at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 33.103; 33.104; and 33.105.
