The latest legal developments in federal procurement

This week on Off the Shelf, Jason Workmaster, Member at Miller & Chevalier, provides an update on key legal developments in federal procurement.

Leading off the discussion is a briefing on the Federal Circuit’s Percipient.AI decision potentially lowering the jurisdictional bar for task order protests. Workmaster outlines the facts of the case, the legal analysis and the implications for bid protests generally and task orders protests more specifically.

He also gives his thoughts on the recent Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding the semiconductor supply chain. The ANPR is the first step toward regulatory implementation of Section 5948 of the 2023 NDAA (the so-called “889 ban on certain microchips”).

Finally Workmaster talks about other developments in cyber, including NIST 800-171, Revision 3.
