Biography

Tenley, a partner and leader of the Government Contracts practice, is an indispensable resource for AGG’s government contracts clients. She negotiates government contracts, provides astute counseling, oversees audits and investigations, handles bid protest litigation and claims, and performs due diligence in mergers and acquisitions. Building on 30 years of experience in connection with more than 100 litigation matters alone, Tenley thoughtfully advises clients with respect to the intricacies and nuances in the bid protest and claims processes before the U.S. Government Accountability Office, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Hearings and Appeals, United States District Courts, the U.S. Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals, the Federal Aviation Administration’s Office of Dispute Resolution, U.S. Department of Navy’s Suspension and Debarment Official, and the U.S. Postal Service’s Supplier Disagreement Resolution Official.

Prior to joining AGG, Tenley served as a former Assistant General Counsel at the U.S. General Services Administration and worked as a government contracts attorney in the private sector. She is a forward-thinking, productive entrepreneur who actively drives businesses towards successful outcomes. In addition to practicing law, she launched a business early on in her career which involved designing a web-based software program allowing citizens to respond to jury duty online or by phone. She obtained a U.S. Patent on the Automated System and Process for Conducting Jury Voir Dire in connection with her software program.

Experience

  • Successfully represented a client in a protest at the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) multiple award contract valued at approximately $220M in future task orders was problematic from the start. The first solicitation was canceled due to COVID. The second solicitation resulted in a contract award to the client. But, due to a protest, VA took corrective action, which reversed that decision because its subcontractor did not have an updated SAM registration. Not only was it not the client’s fault that its subcontractor’s SAM registration had lapsed (the founder had unexpectedly died), but Tenley convinced VA that the evaluation criteria did not require a subcontractor to have an updated SAM registration at the time of award; only the prime contractor needed that. VA agreed to take corrective action, which resulted in the client receiving a potentially lucrative contract award.
  • Successfully represented a prime contractor in litigation filed by one of its subcontractors. The subcontractor filed a lawsuit in a state court in Alabama (without attaching any documents to its Complaint) alleging that the prime contractor failed to pay it a 60% work share of awarded labor dollars on a federal government contract, as agreed to in the parties’ Teaming Agreement. Tenley removed the lawsuit to the Middle District of Alabama and included the governing documents — the Teaming Agreement, a Master Subcontract, and the governing Subcontract Agreement — which showed that the parties had mutually agreed to a work share of 49%, not 60%. Tenley filed a Motion to Dismiss on behalf of her client and it was quickly granted with prejudice.
  • Successfully represented a company in a $1 million Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan forgiveness partial denial matter. SBA had issued Tenley’s client a partial denial of its PPP loan amount and argued that FCA was a financial business primarily engaged in lending and that lenders were per se ineligible for PPP loans. Tenley argued that FCA had moved its business to Texas and set itself up as a legitimate Texas credit access business which merely facilitated the loans but did not initiate them. After two rounds of appeals and explanations of information in her client’s tax returns, SBA agreed to full PPP loan forgiveness.
  • Successfully represented a Seller in the equity sale of its tungsten alloy products business to a Buyer whose ultimate parent company was a foreign entity. Since Seller’s largest customer was the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Agency, the parties were required to obtain approval for the transaction from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. and enter into a National Security Agreement to mitigate any national security risks. The parties also obtained Hart-Scott-Rodino approval and worked on Foreign Ownership Control or Influence mitigation.
  • Successfully represented a large government contracts reseller (and subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company) in a claim against the DC Government in the amount of $500,000 based on the DC Government’s excess use of archiving software and storage capacity. After the DC Government denied the company’s claim, the company appealed the decision to the DC Contract Appeals Board. The DC Government ultimately paid immix the claimed $500K in exchange for the company’s willingness to withdraw the appeal.
  • Represented the largest pistachio and blueberry farmer in the US in its $1.6M Paycheck Protection Program appeal at the U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Hearings and Appeals . After four months of litigation, the case was resolved in the pistachio farmer’s favor. SBA ultimately decided that the company’s PPP loan should be fully forgiven.
  • After AGG’s client won a $49M contract for Fingerprint and Latent Examiner Services from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, a competitor protested at the U.S. Government Accountability Office. DHS originally wanted to take “corrective action” which would have resulted in an increase to the protester’s technical score. Tenley convinced DHS not to take corrective action. Ultimately, the protester decided to withdraw its protest which cleared the way for AGG’s client to begin contract performance.
  • AGG’s client requested assistance with its $2.6M Paycheck Protection Paycheck loan. Its lender did not agree that its loan should be forgiven in full because it did not understand the calculations in the company’s PPP spreadsheet. Within days, Tenley Carp was able to effectively communicate the facts to the lender and the company’s PPP loan was forgiven in its entirety.
  • Successfully represented a company in a $3 million Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan forgiveness denial matter. In January 2022, a company requested assistance with its PPP loan forgiveness situation for two of its entities that had obtained PPP loans. In less than a month, Tenley secured a letter from SBA for one entity reflecting PPP loan forgiveness in its entirety and timely appealed the second entity’s loan forgiveness denial to SBA’s Office of Hearing and Appeals (“OHA”). Meanwhile, the company need not repay the lender on the second PPP loan since timely appeal of SBA’s denial of loan forgiveness automatically defers repayment until final OHA adjudication.
  • Successfully represented contractor in a claim filed before the U.S. Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. The certified claim alleged that the U.S. Small Business Administration over-deployed software beyond the contract terms of a contract modification. After a two-day hearing, the Board granted the claim, concluding in a legal precedent-setting written opinion that SBA’s over-deployed software entitled the contractor to damages in the amount of more than $1 million plus interest.
  • Recovered more than $2M from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in satisfaction of two certified claims filed at the agency. Several weeks prior to a hearing at the U.S. Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, the agency agreed to an informal settlement of both claims.
  • Successful representation in a protest filed at U.S. Court of Federal Claims alleging the U.S. General Services Administration erred by not selecting it from among 493 offerors as an awardee in connection with its Alliant 2 Small Business contract valued at $15B. The Court sustained the protest on the merits and granted protester’s motion for permanent injunctive relief which resulted in rescission of contract awards to 81 companies and issuance of an amended solicitation. Recovered protesters’ attorneys’ fees.
  • Successful representation of a Fortune 50 company in a bid protest before the Government Accountability Office in a multi-party bid protest challenging the award by the Department of Justice of a contract valued at approximately $500 million to another bidder.
  • Represented federal government contractor investigated by US Government for potential civil and criminal violations of the False Claims Act and False Statements Act.
  • Successfully represented a $1 billion technology company in three successive claims against the Government, avoiding time-consuming and expensive litigation by negotiating settlements favorable to the client in each case.
  • Successfully represented client before the U.S. Department of Navy’s Suspension and Debarment Official, saving client’s business from remaining in the General Services Administration’s “Excluded Parties List System” database for three years and putting the company out of business. After explaining all extenuating circumstances pertaining to the failed deliveries of furniture, the SDO agreed to remove the Parties from the EPLS database.
  • Successfully represented client in a protest at GAO challenging the improper award of a contract by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to a competitor. The filing of the protest triggered the automatic suspension of the competitor’s contract. Twelve days after the protest was filed, CFPB took corrective action which (1) gave the client another chance to win the award; and (2) extended the incumbent’s contract by nearly six months.
  • Successfully represented federal government contractor in the process of submitting a Novation Agreement to the General Services Administration resulting in the novation of the company’s GSA Schedule from one corporate entity to another.
  • Representation of a small radiopharmaceutical business in a post-award protest at GAO. The client challenged the award of a multiyear contract by VA to a subsidiary of a large business. After the client was forced to litigate for months, VA finally took corrective action. Recovered attorneys’ fees since GAO determined that the agency unduly delayed taking corrective action in response to several clearly meritorious challenges to the evaluation of the client’s quotation.
  • Successfully represented client by filing a pre-award bid protest filed at the Government Accountability Office. The protest alleged, among other things, that the solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in West Palm Beach, Florida violated the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 because the solicitation called for several proprietary products which only one large healthcare company in the United States could provide. CICA expressly requires agencies to promote competition to the maximum extent possible. Within one week of receipt of the bid protest, the Agency agreed to take corrective action by revising the solicitation in a manner designed to achieve competition.
  • Successfully represented her client in an agency-level protest filed with the Department of Veterans Affairs. In less than a month after the protest was filed, VA agreed to terminate the contract awarded to her client’s competitor and re-issue the solicitation. In agreeing to take corrective action, VA admitted that it failed to follow its own internal requirements, applicable procurement regulations and national security priorities with respect to procuring radiopharmaceuticals.
  • Successfully represented her client in the third of three pre-award protests filed at the U.S. Government Accountability Office challenging the terms of a solicitation issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs. On the day before the Agency Report was due, VA notified GAO that VA would immediately take corrective action exactly as it was requested in her client’s pre-award protest and requested that GAO dismiss the protest.
  • Successfully represented her client in the filing of two claims at the Defense Logistics Agency. The client had a very weak case on the issue of legal entitlement since the client had worked for DLA “at risk” (without signed modifications to its task orders). On the day before the Alternative Dispute Resolution, the judge from the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals, DLA refused to put a dime on this case, and planned to sue the client for a significant sum in overpayments. DLA attended ADR only to “educate the client.” After more than 8 hours of negotiations, DLA agreed to pay the client 67% of the claimed amount.
  • Successfully represented her client in a dispute with the US Postal Service. After award of a contract for PBX maintenance support services to the client, the client began to incur additional costs due to unexpected changes to the contract added by USPS. The client filed a request for equitable adjustment, which was denied. The denial was appealed to the Postal Service Board of Contract Appeals. Soon thereafter, the parties engaged in meaningful settlement discussions, the result of which was that USPS has agreed to pay the client for all unexpected changes.
  • Successfully represented her client in a dispute with the Defense Contract Management Agency regarding questioned costs in the overhead pool, overhead base, G&A pool, G&A base and Material/Subcontract Handling base as well as direct costs on cost-type and time-and-material type contracts. DCMA‘s incurred cost audit of her client revealed nearly $500K in proposed unallowable costs. The appeal was filed at the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. After several lengthy conference calls and one in person meeting among counsel only, the parties were able to resolve the entire case informally without mediation or ASBCA involvement. The client’s nearly $500K in proposed unallowable costs were ultimately deemed allowable.
  • Counseled technology company with regard to the numerous compliance obligations imposed on federal government contractors and described the penalty associated with the failure to comply with or blatant misconduct of each of the listed compliance obligations.
  • Counseled the US subsidiary of a $1 billion company based in the United Kingdom with regard to the compliance obligations of the Buy American Act and Trade Agreements Act imposed on the US subsidiary due to sales of its services to the federal government both on and off its GSA Schedule.
  • Drafted Code of Business Ethics and Conduct for $1 billion company and created an “Ethics Training” PowerPoint presentation for the company’s executive level officers and all salespersons who interacted with federal government personnel.
  • Drafted and edited numerous teaming agreement and subcontract agreements for a technology company serving as a subcontractor to multiple large systems integrators which hold prime contracts with various federal agencies.
  • Performed due diligence focused specifically on a Target Company’s multiple government contracts on behalf of my client, the purchaser of such Target Company.
  • Represented client in successful price negotiations involving cost or pricing data for a $250 million follow-on subcontract to provide materials to a large prime contractor managing and operating a US national security site.
  • Successfully represented a small technology company in obtaining a 20-year contract with the General Services Administration; such contract is referred to as a “GSA Schedule.” Drafted Memorandum of Law for the company outlining compliance obligations imposed on federal government contractors holding GSA Schedules.
  • Successfully represented client in a bid protest filed at the Government Accountability Office involving a contract for the delivery of radiopharmaceuticals to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Durham, NC. The protest alleged, inter alia, that the Agency failed to properly evaluate the prospective awardee and that the Agency erred in seeking a waiver to the Non-Manufacturer Rule. For more than two months after the protest was filed, the Agency attempted to justify its actions. When the contractor threatened to file a size protest at the SBA, the Agency relented. One day after such threat, the Agency informed GAO that it had erred in seeking a waiver to the NMR and would take corrective action by re-soliciting the requirement.
  • Successfully represented client in a pre-award protest challenging the terms of the solicitation for a five-year procurement of radiopharmaceuticals for all VA Medical Centers in Florida. After the VA agreed to take corrective action, the client expressed his appreciation in an email stating, “It was your expertise, skills, and passion that gave us this win. If it wasn’t for you, we would have been pushed to the side, which is what our competitors planned. I feel the real winner will be the VA, the taxpayer, and most important the patient. Now we can bid. Thank you.”
