Triple-S Tube Supply Acquires Real Property and Improvements in Private Bankruptcy Sale
Winston & Strawn LLP represented Triple-S Tube Supply, LP in the purchase of two parcels of real property and improvements located in Conroe and Houston, Texas in the Energy Alloys, LLC chapter 11 bankruptcy case. Energy Alloys had already significantly finalized its purchase agreement for these properties with another buyer and had sought expedited bankruptcy court approval of this private sale. In approximately a week, Winston & Strawn M&A/real estate and bankruptcy attorneys worked with our client to formulate a higher and better bid, revise the purchase agreement and ancillary documents, and negotiate a revised sale order. Energy Alloys decided to pivot to our client as the buyer. Accordingly, our attorneys further worked with Energy Alloys to successfully resolve objections brought by the U.S. Trustee, and certain county agencies and governments. On November 23, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court, with the support of the creditors’ committee, approved the private sale of the real property to our client.

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.
