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 against the Army Corps of Engineers' rejection of its bid for construction. GAO had held that the: (1) Army properly rejected the protester's bid, since its estimated performance period was impracticable; (2) Army was not required to accept the protester's high price; and (3) protester was not sufficiently interested to protest the award. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended that GAO failed to consider its protest issues regarding the Army's determination that: (1) its bid was unbalanced; and (2) it was nonresponsible. GAO held that the protester merely restated its original arguments. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
