Scott Flesch will present the BARBRI webinar "Bid Protests at GAO and COFC: Standing, Timing, and Record" on March 31, 2026. This webinar will examine the 2026 bid protest landscape at the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC), and at the agency level, focusing on the strategic and procedural decisions that shape outcomes from intake through remedy.

Presenters will compare GAO vs. COFC vs. agency-level protests, including key timelines that drive forum strategy (such as the CICA stay and GAO's 100-day decision target), along with how COFC pace and remedies can change risk and leverage in fast-moving procurements. They will review standing and threshold issues, including "interested party" and direct economic interest concepts after the Federal Circuit's Percipient.ai Inc. v. United States decision, and the recurring questions around who can and cannot bring a protest.
