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 a Department of Health and Human Services contract award, contending that the awardee submitted an unrealistically low bid price. GAO held that it would not review the affirmative responsibility determination, since the protester did not provide any evidence of fraud or bad faith. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
