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 Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) requested reconsideration of a decision sustaining a firm's bid rejection protest, contending that the decision was inconsistent with the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984. GAO held that: (1) the reconsideration request was untimely; (2) the awardee's bid was not prejudicial to higher priced offerers; and (3) DLA obtained open and fair competition. Accordingly, the prior decision was affirmed.
