I'd suggest Al Ross -- alross@patriot.net. Former Navy himself, now in his second decade of consultancy and business development in Reston VA. Tell him I sent you -- see URL below.
He founded A.L. Ross Associates following his departure from the United States Navy after more than 20 years of service. As a Navy Captain, his Washington assignments included SECDEF, JCS and CNO. He's done great work for American as well as Canadian and allied clients, and is a genuinely nice guy who is very smart and has a smart team.
Let me know how it goes!
and thanks for your answers to my questions. I'm glad to be able to offer you something in return.

Aleta,
As I know you know, time is critical in bid protests. I hope a de-briefing request has already by submitted. If the de-briefing has already occurred, there is a decision whether to protest to the contracting officer, GAO or the Court of Federal Claims. I hate to plug my profession, but at GAO and at the Court of Federal Claims, an attorney is almost a necessity because of the need to access proprietary information of the other parties and (at least in the Court of Federal Claims) the complexity of the procedures used. And the process is not cheap. A bid protest to GAO can easily cost $50,000 to $100,000 (including in-house and consultant/attorney costs) and the Court of Federal Claims could be twice that. Obviously, the choice of forum and what outside help to engage will depend on the issues involved and the size of the opportunities.
Good lunkc.
Best regards,
Jon

"Good lunkc"? Boy do I wish LinkedIn answers had a spell checker. Anyway, GOOD LUCK!
