How long does a protest on a lost bid extend the current contract for the incumbent?

Wondering how much more time I will have to look for a new job before getting laid off if my firm decides to submit a protest. (Firm has no bench, lost recompete on contract funding my current position.)

That I have never personally seen

Depends if at court of federal claims or GAO. GAO has a strict 100 day limit between filing and being decided. If the agency loses or takes corrective action, they have another 100 days to implement and then another protest would be another 100 days. If the agency wins it'll only be 100 days.

If the court, it's hard to say. 1-3 months.

A protest does not automatically extend a contract. Having a protest and the risk of work stoppage, the government will have what it needs to issue a sole source to extend your contract. Depending on the agency and sometimes the specific client, they can do 12 months or less. They can even structure it as 12 separate options which will give them the flexibility to continue extending month by month for 12 months until protest is resolved. It gets more complex if the protest concludes that there were issues with the procurement and that it needs to be redone. That will be another 12 month delay on top of the protest delay.
For example, one of my clients have had to cancel 3 procurements in a row because the contracting officer was incompetent. This allowed the incumbent, who was is totally incompetent, to keep getting their contract extended for almost a decade now. The 4th procurement is active now and we're waiting to hear back and we expect it to be protested. It's basically a shit show 😁
Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
