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 requested reconsideration of its denied protest of an Air Force contract award to another firm for troposcatter radio documentation. GAO had held that the Air Force properly: (1) evaluated the protester's proposal, since the protester failed to adequately respond to its request for additional information; and (2) informed the protester of its proposal's deficiencies. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended that the Air Force: (1) requested only an oral responses to the deficiencies; and (2) failed to provide it with sufficient information. GAO held that the protester failed to show that the original decision contained any factual or legal errors. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
