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 an Army contract award, contending that the Small Business Administration (SBA) acted in bad faith and violated applicable procurement regulations in conducting its section 8(a) program. GAO held that it would not review SBA stewardship of the small disadvantaged contracting program, since: (1) it lacked sufficient jurisdictional authority; and (2) there was no evidence that SBA acted fraudulently or in bad faith. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
