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 protests of several Navy solicitations for landing gear components. GAO had held that the alternative licensing agreement with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) was proper, since the: (1) bidders were responsible for demonstrating the acceptability of their alternate products; and (2) OEM was in the best position to gauge the acceptability of alternate products. GAO held that the protester failed to show any legal or factual errors that would warrant reversal or modification of the original decision. Accordingly, the request for reconsideration was denied.
