Curious how AI is shaking up federal bid protests? In this episode hosts Kat Shamapande and Mark McCallum talk with attorney David Timm about GAO Federal Bid protests, and AI pitfalls like hallucinated citations. Tune in for expert insight, real-world examples, and strategies to stay compliant and credible. Check out the Surety Bond quarterly articles mentioned during this episode, Togiak Case Redefines Bid Bond Enforcement Standards and GAO Warns Protesters of AI Sanctions. Its important to note that when this episode was recorded, there hadn’t been any sanctions, but that changed on September 25th, 2025, when the GAO sanctioned a pro se protester.
