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

IDP asserts that the contract specifications were ambiguous, which entitles it to recover $38,299.29 for expenses incurred during performance of the contract. Currently before the Board is GPO's motion for summary judgment. The Board grants GPO's motion for summary judgment and denies the appeal.
