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.

War Department Contracts for the Repair of Shoes and For Laundry Service

A-90922 Feb 23, 1938
Jump To:

Highlights

The Department of War requests the decision of the Comptroller General on whether or not funds could be used for shoes repair and laundry service contracts. The Comptroller initially stated that "contracts for the repair of shoes and for laundry services are not contracts for the construction, alteration, or repair of any public building or public work of the United States," therefore appropriated funds cannot be used. The Department requests the Comptroller to reconsider with the views expressed recently by the Attorney General.
