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

The Government-wide Standard and Optional Forms Program is being severely hindered because a comprehensive and up-to-date facsimile handbook is not available for use in the agencies. The General Services Administration's (GSA's) Standard and Optional Forms Facsimile Handbook, which is used by agencies to identify forms currently in use for possible application within their agencies in lieu of developing new agency forms, has not been reissued in an updated form in more than 3 years.
