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 protested a Navy contract award for portable shelters, contending that the Navy should have: (1) rejected the awardee's bid as technically unacceptable; and (2) required technical proposals. GAO held that: (1) it would not review the Navy's affirmative responsibility determination, since there was no evidence of fraud or bad faith; and (2) the protester untimely filed after bid opening its protest regarding alleged solicitation improprieties. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
