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

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the General Services Administration's (GSA) Public Buildings Service (PBS) acquisition of leased office space in Fort Collins, Colorado, for the federal agencies comprising the Natural Resources Research Center (NRRC), focusing on: (1) the justification for the consolidation of agencies in Fort Collins; (2) whether the requirements in the PBS solicitation for offers (SFO) were consistent with the stated needs of the planned tenant agencies; and (3) what the basis was for the claim in a NRRC press release that the project will save $100 million over the next 30 years.
