Frank’s expertise spans all areas of government contracts law, including bid protests, contract disputes, contract administration, investigation support and regulatory compliance. He leverages his extensive government experience as former lead IT procurement and bid protest counsel for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA-TAC), and as a bid protest subject matter expert (SME) for the U.S. Army to advise in all areas of government contract law. Frank specializes in procurements involving enterprise-wide IT systems and provides unique insight into agencies’ procurement practices and contract administration.
With more than 20 years of federal procurement experience, Frank’s government experience includes advising presidential appointees, senior executive service-level leaders, military and civilian program managers, program executive officers, and acquisition professionals on all aspects of government contract law—from acquisition strategy to contract close-out. Frank worked for the VA nationwide, where he was involved in complex, multi-billion-dollar information technology procurements, and often led high profile non-IT bid protests. As a senior attorney for the VA’s Technology Acquisition Center, he was lead counsel in hundreds of GAO bid protests and assisted in dozens of bid protests at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC).
