  • SBA Size Protest Technical Review.  Filing a SBA size protest is not necessarily as easy as it seems.  Short timeliness rules, “specificity” requirements and technical filing rules can cause the SBA to dismiss a potentially meritorious size protest, or lead the protester to miss a viable action of attacking a competitor’s size.  Koprince McCall Pottroff‘s SBA size protest attorneys can help ensure that your size protest is timely, meets all technical filing requirements, and makes all appropriate arguments about why your competitor is not a small business.

  • SBA Size Protest Defense – Preparation and Filing.  When your small business size status is under attack, it is no time to cut corners.  Without an effective response, you could lose your ability to win small business set-aside contracts, and even be terminated from socioeconomic programs like the 8(a) Program.

SBA Size Protest FAQs

  • Do I need a lawyer to file or defend a SBA size protest?  No.  The SBA size protest rules do not require a size protest to be filed or defended by a lawyer.  However, you should strongly consider hiring an experienced SBA size protest attorney to file your protest, or defend against a competitor’s size protest.  Working with a size protest attorney can help you avoid complex technical pitfalls and present a much stronger case to the SBA.
  • Do I need to travel to Washington, DC to file a SBA size protest?  Does my SBA size protest attorney need to be located in Washington, DC?  No and no.  Regardless of whether you file a SBA size protest on your own or hire a size protest attorney, neither you nor your attorney needs to travel to Washington, DC.  SBA size protests may be filed from anywhere in the world by email or facsimile, and SBA size protests are decided without any in-person argument. Koprince McCall Pottroff‘s location outside Kansas City does not affect our ability to file or defend SBA size protests.
