Bid Protest Litigation. Olivia has an active bid protest docket and has been involved in agency-level protests as well as bid protests before the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Court of Federal Claims (COFC), and the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition (ODRA). She has represented both protesters and awardees in matters concerning such topics as pre-award protests of solicitation terms, challenges to the cancellation of procurements, sole source awards, exclusions from the competitive range, and post-award challenges.

Olivia provides advice on all manner of small business government contracting issues, including: certifications as to small business size and status (SDVOSB, WOSB, 8(a), HUBZone); participation in programs of the Small Business Administration (SBA) and other agencies (e.g., mentor-protégé programs and the Department of Transportation’s Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program); and compliance with such requirements as the limitation on subcontracting, non-manufacturer rule, and the small business subcontracting plan requirement. Olivia counsels large and small contractors on these issues in the context of procurements, protests, transactions, investigations, mandatory and voluntary disclosures, and False Claims Act litigation. Olivia has also filed and defended against size protests as well as litigated size appeals before the SBA's Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA).
