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

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) requested reconsideration of GAO corrective action recommendations under a sustained protest against an ITC solicitation for computer training services. GAO had recommended that ITC resolve specification conflicts and ambiguities and reissue the solicitation. ITC advised that: (1) its reassessment of its training needs revealed a diminished demand for training services, which it could procure under a small disadvantaged business set-aside. GAO held that the protester under the original solicitation did not protest the ITC reprocurement proposal. Accordingly, the proposal to change the solicitation was approved.
