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 that the Navy was not considering its bid for a solicitation fairly and that it was being discriminated against on racial grounds. Since the contract had not been awarded and the protester remained in the competition, GAO found no basis upon which to consider the allegation. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
