ASSIGNMENT:

Case Study E Protests Instructions: Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow. Scenario 1: Scott, an Army contracting officer, awarded a contract without conducting discussions for 103 Stryker vehicles on Friday, December 11, 2009 to Contractor Abbott. The next contractor in line for award, Costello, requested a debriefing that afternoon. Because of the weekend and due to the office holiday party on Monday, Scott arranged the debriefing on Tuesday, December 15. During the debriefing, Costello learned of an apparent flaw in the Government's evaluation of their technical proposal. If the Government would have properly evaluated their proposal, they certainly would have been the winner rather than Contractor Abbott, since their proposal was cheaper. On Monday, December 28, 2009, they filed a protest with the agency
