Hi Gang, I get Emails from a guy who weekly sends all the information on Veterans, especially for SDVOSBs. This one comes once in a while and is another Law Firm that lists all the results of protests for government contracts. May give you some data for understanding how to do bids correctly and when it is a good idea to protest the process. It helps to see the legal compliance aspect of the process. You can subscribe to this Firm's newsletter. See the Email below to do that.
