An Examination of the Consequences of Neglecting to Raise Objections to Patent Errors in Federal Solicitations: The United States Case of M.R. Pittman Group LLC

The legal case "M.R. Pittman Group LLC v. United States" revolves around a bid protest by M.R. Pittman Group LLC (Pittman) against the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The protest was filed due to a contract awarded for repairing pump units in Louisiana, which Pittman contested. The central issue was the omission of a specific North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code in the solicitation, which Pittman argued invalidated the small business set-aside nature of the contract.
