FAA ODRA Protests

FAA ODRA protests are unique. The FAA is exempt from the protest rules governing most procuring agencies, and the GAO and SBA lack jurisdiction to hear protests relating to FAA procurements.

FAA ODRA Protest FAQs

  • Do I need a lawyer to file a FAA ODRA protest? No. The FAA ODRA protest rules do not require a protest to be filed by a lawyer. However, you should strongly consider hiring an experienced FAA ODRA protest attorney to file your protest. Working with an attorney can help you avoid complex technical pitfalls and present a stronger case to the FAA ODRA. In addition, without an attorney, you may not be entitled to review the full agency file, and may miss critical opportunities to supplement your protest. In contrast, your attorney will be able to review the entire agency file under a protective order, potentially offering you additional opportunities to challenge the award decision.
  • Do I need to travel to Washington, DC to file a FAA ODRA protest? Does my FAA ODRA protest attorney need to be located in Washington, DC? No and no. Regardless of whether you file a FAA ODRA protest on your own or hire a FAA ODRA protest attorney, neither you nor your attorney needs to travel to Washington, DC. FAA ODRA protests may be filed from anywhere in the world by email or facsimile. Koprince McCall Pottroff’s location outside Kansas City does not affect our ability to file FAA ODRA protests.
