Importantly, while some Government offices are closed, most courts (including the Court of Federal Claims and the Federal Circuit) remain open and the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (“ASBCA”) and the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (“CBCA”) will remain open for receiving filings. The Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) is closed, but has advised that any deadlines falling on a date in which the Office is closed, will be moved to the first day GAO reopens, similar to how a weekend or holiday deadline is treated under the rules.

About this Publication

The Government Contracts Legal Forum is dedicated to addressing real-time, cutting edge developments in government contracting. Our attorney authors are part of one of the largest practices with a 40-year history. Our lawyers are bar and industry leaders, and our practice is widely recognized as the best in the business. In describing the practice, Chambers USA stated that “[t]his stellar group is widely respected for its deep bench and broad experience.” We advise a broad range of clients, from privately held businesses to multinational, publicly-traded Fortune 100 corporations, as well as small non-profits, academic institutions, and emerging research and development enterprises. Our experience covers virtually every aspect of the increasingly complex and heavily regulated government contracts and grants process, from entering the government marketplace and bidding on public contracts to complying with complex regulatory regimes and performing contracts, litigating disputes, and handling terminations. Whether your company is competing for its first government contract or grant, or has a long history of working with dozens of agencies, Crowell & Moring's Government Contracts Group can provide consistent and comprehensive guidance and support to help foster growth and success, as well as get — and keep — companies out of hot water. If we can be of service to you, please contact one of the Government Contracts Group co-chairs, Peter Eyre or Dan Forman.
