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 Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) contract award for manufacturing of woven shirting fabric, contending that the awardee did not meet BOP's requirement for similar or relevant contract past performance. GAO held that the awardee met this requirement since the solicitation did not define "similar or relevant" in terms of a dollar value. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
