Lapse in Appropriations

Please note that a lapse in appropriations has caused GAO to shut down its operations. Therefore, GAO will not be able to publish reports or otherwise update this website until GAO resumes operations. In addition, the vast majority of GAO personnel are not permitted to work. Consequently, calls or emails to agency personnel may not be returned until GAO resumes operations. For details on how the bid protest process will be handled during the shutdown, please see the legal decisions page. For information related to the GAO Personnel Appeals Board (PAB), please see the PAB webpage.

Highlights

A firm requested reconsideration of the dismissal of its untimely protest against two State Department solicitations for maintenance services, contending that it: (1) could not timely file a copy of its protest with the agency because of the agency's remote location; and (2) was unable to ascertain the correct address for the agency's protest copy. GAO held that: (1) it would not waive its timeliness requirement simply because of the agency's location; and (2) the protester incorrectly addressed its protest. Accordingly, the dismissal was affirmed.
