See which bid protests involve a live government deadline
Applicants confirm whether a government agency ran the bid, whether the 60-day protest window is still open, and whether the scoring or award process broke stated rules. Bid documents, award notices, and any protest correspondence attach up front so you can see the real dispute before booking a consultation.
The exact intake your bid protests and disputes leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Bid Protests and Disputes — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified bid protests and disputes lead should tell you
A challenge to how a construction contract was bid, scored, or awarded — typically brought by a losing bidder, subcontractor, or supplier who believes the procurement process violated stated rules, most often on a public-agency project with a short filing window.

The questions your team needs answered
Every bid protests and disputes intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is your issue about a construction project bid, proposal, or contract award (or rejection) in the United States? | Confirms the matter is actually a US bid, proposal, or award dispute rather than an unrelated construction issue, which is the baseline fit check before anything else matters. |
| Are you a bidder, subcontractor, supplier, or project owner directly involved in that bid or award decision? | A client without direct standing as a bidder, subcontractor, supplier, or owner usually lacks grounds to bring the protest themselves, so this answer heavily affects fit. |
| Is the project connected to a government agency (federal, state, county, city, school district, or other public entity)? | Public agency projects follow formal procurement protest procedures with statutory deadlines, so this answer changes both the applicable process and the urgency. |
| Did the bid decision happen within the last 60 days, or is there a deadline coming up soon to challenge it? | Bid protests almost always run on strict, short deadlines, so a recent decision or looming filing date is one of the strongest signals of a live, actionable matter. |
| Do you believe the bidding process was unfair or did not follow the stated rules (for example, wrong scoring, unequal treatment, or ignoring requirements)? | A protest needs a specific procedural defect to challenge — vague dissatisfaction with losing a bid is not the same as an alleged rules violation. |
| Can you identify the agency or owner that ran the bid and the company that was selected (or the reason you were rejected)? | Being able to name the agency, the awarded company, or the stated rejection reason shows the client has real facts to build a protest on rather than a general suspicion. |
| Would winning the protest or dispute likely lead to a meaningful result for you (such as getting the contract, a re-bid, or recovering significant costs)? | Confirms there is a meaningful outcome worth pursuing — a re-bid, contract award, or cost recovery — rather than a protest with no practical upside even if it succeeds. |

Built for bid protests and disputes workflows
| Cliont capability | Bid Protests And Disputes application |
|---|---|
| Weighted qualification scoring | Government-agency involvement, an open protest deadline, and an identifiable award decision each carry heavier weight than a private dispute or an unnamed agency, so a strong protest surfaces above a vague inquiry. |
| Guided document capture | Clients attach the bid or proposal, the award or rejection notice, and any prior protest correspondence directly in the intake instead of emailing scanned files after the call. |
| Direct routing to your CRM | Once a client confirms direct involvement in the bid and names the agency and awarded company, the lead lands in your CRM with those specifics already logged for the assigned attorney. |
| Structured yes/no qualification flow | Because every question in this catalog is a yes/no check — government status, timing, direct involvement, rule violations — the flow stays short while still separating a live protest from a general question. |
Common bid protests and disputes lead scenarios
Federal award challenged inside deadline
A losing bidder on a federal contract names the agency and awarded firm, alleges the technical scoring was misapplied, and confirms the decision happened within the last 60 days — the highest-value combination the intake can surface.
Deadline already lapsed
A subcontractor believes a county project's bid was unfair but the award happened months ago with no pending deadline; the intake still captures the claim but the missing time-sensitivity signal lowers the score.
Private commercial bid dispute
An owner disputes a rejected proposal on a privately funded build with no government agency involved, which changes the applicable rules and scores differently than a public procurement protest.
Can't name the winning bidder
A supplier suspects unequal treatment but can't identify the agency, the awarded company, or the stated rejection reason, so the intake flags a specificity gap the attorney will need to fill in before advising.
Non-bidder asking general questions
Someone connected to the project but not a bidder, subcontractor, supplier, or owner submits an inquiry — the direct-involvement answer scores this lead well below a party who actually participated in the bid.

Bid Protests and Disputes lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake separate federal or public bid protests from private contract disputes?
Yes — one question confirms whether the project is connected to a government agency, which carries a heavier weight than a private-sector award dispute since public procurement follows distinct protest rules.
What happens if the client missed the window to challenge the award?
The intake still records the claim, but the answer confirming whether the decision happened recently or a deadline is coming up carries significant weight, so a stale claim scores lower rather than being hidden from you.
Does the form ask for the name of the agency or the company that won the bid?
Yes, one question checks whether the client can identify the agency or owner that ran the bid and the awarded company, or explain the stated rejection reason — that specificity affects how the lead scores.
What should the client upload before the consultation?
The intake requests the original bid or proposal, the award or rejection notice, and any correspondence or protest filing already sent to the agency or owner, so the attorney reviews real documents, not a summary.
How is a lead scored if the client isn't the one who actually bid?
The direct-involvement question — whether the person is a bidder, subcontractor, supplier, or project owner tied to the award decision — carries real weight, so a party without direct standing scores noticeably lower.
Can this intake also handle a subcontractor dispute unrelated to a bid award?
No — this intake is built around bid, proposal, and award-decision questions specifically; a dispute that isn't tied to a bidding or award decision belongs on the Subcontractor Disputes intake instead.
