The Bid Protest Debrief
At the Court of Federal Claims, winning the argument is not always enough to win the case. In Noblis MSD, LLC v. United States, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, No. 25-1637C (March 19, 2026), the protester challenged a $100 million Navy award and ultimately succeeded in identifying a real, prejudicial error in the agency’s evaluation—an outcome that would typically put a protester in a strong position for relief. But Noblis ultimately ran into a different issue involving how the case was presented to the Court.
