00:45:39	Erin Lau:	Have you seen the situation where there is simultaneous discovery in bid protests and UIPA or FOIA requests for the same documents from the protestor? If so, can you tell us about how that was resolved or otherwise resulted?
01:03:21	Raymond Swenson:	Does a minority owned business have to sign on to just one primary bidder?
01:06:29	Raymond Swenson:	Maryland has a reputation for corruption among governors and other state officers.
01:11:28	Robert Bragaw:	It seems to me that from a supply chain integrity / security perspective, knowing the subcontractors up front would be desirable for state agencies.
01:15:55	gwlawgovpro@law.gwu.edu:	Robert Bragaw's point is a very good one.  But if a prime contractor is unbreakably bound to a subcontractor, the prime contractor can't use it's post-award negotiating strength to negotiate a better deal with subcontractors.  Prime-sub "teaming agreements" -- flexible agreements to finalize a subcontract after award -- arguably reflect that economic reality.
01:28:46	Derrick White:	Yes I does.
01:31:04	Henry Reddick:	Depending on "What it is? What's an example?
01:51:43	Christopher Yukins / GW Law:	During Session 1 (the recording is posted on the program page), Missy Copeland also talked about how she cooperates with state-based lawyers and others who understand the local politics, when she takes on a bid protest in a new state.
01:57:29	Matthew Rivera:	As a former AF Contracting Officer and agency procurement official I feel Elizabeth has given us a picture of what the thinking is behind the curtain of the Wizard of OZ.  Great thoughts!
01:59:22	Zach Jacobson:	Do you think that states that require a filing fee or a protest bond reduce the number of protests filed compared to the states that do not have that requirement? In the jurisdictions with that requirement, does that factor into the decision to file a protest?
02:00:52	Zach Jacobson:	Some states hold a bonding requirement based on percentage of contract value.
02:22:22	Christopher Yukins / GW Law:	To Cesar's question -- a few data points:  the General Services Board of Contract Appeals lost its protest jurisdiction in 1996 in part because of a perception that protesters had a 50% win rate before the Board -- that was viewed as too high.  In a Far East study, funded by the European Commission, fully 80% of the procurements in the subject country are reportedly being protested -- and that is viewed as far too high.
02:22:30	Henry Reddick:	Great information.. What is the title of the book?
02:23:58	Christopher Yukins / GW Law:	The Far East study is still in draft.  The study that led to the end of the GSBCA jurisdiction was called "Computer Chaos," 1993, by then-Senator William Cohen and Paul Brubaker, on his staff.  It should be available online.
02:24:35	Matthew Rivera:	Fantastic! Agency officials need a working knowledge of Agile Management Methodologies principles an mechanisms to help them reach their goal..their request esp software.. Stake are high.
