Discussing Government Procurement with Karen Walker and Tiffany Roddenberry

This episode was originally released on December 2, 2021 | In the eighth episode of Holland & Knight's "Florida Capital Conversations" podcast series, Government Section Leader Karen Walker and litigation attorney Tiffany Roddenberry focus on state and local government procurement. With states like Florida spending billions of dollars each year contracting with private entities, and with billions of federal dollars set to flow to state and local governments through the recently passed infrastructure bill, procurement will be top of mind for many state agencies and private sector actors in the coming months. Ms. Walker and Ms. Roddenberry talk about their experience guiding clients through the procurement process, from introducing products or services to potential government customers to filing bid protests and responding to public records requests. They discuss common exemptions to procurement laws, cover key rules and deadlines for interested companies to note, explain what happens once a company either wins or loses a bid and preview areas of interest in 2022. This Tallahassee-based podcast series takes a look at the many different aspects of state and local government through the lens of experienced legal professionals. Hosted by attorneys Nate Adams and Mia McKown, these candid conversations offer a seat at the table to everyone who listens.
