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 company protested award of a small business set-aside contract, contending that the awardee was purchasing equipment from a large business in violation of the solicitation's specifications. The protester did not provide evidence to support its allegations, and it is not GAO practice to conduct investigations to establish the validity of a protester's speculations.
