[Protest of Navy Contract Award]

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 Navy contract award, contending that the awardee: (1) would be unable to perform the contract; and (2) failed to submit a valid bid bond. GAO held that: (1) the protester was not sufficiently interested to protest the award, since it would not be in line for award even if its protest was sustained; and (2) it would not review the Navy's affirmative responsibility determination. Accordingly, the protest was dismissed.
