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 requested reconsideration of its dismissed protest against a Federal Aviation Administration solicitation. GAO had dismissed the protest because the protester untimely filed it more than 10 days after receiving notice of the agency's adverse action. In its request for reconsideration, the protester contended that GAO should have considered the protest, since it mailed the protest several days before the deadline. GAO held that, since a date stamp indicated that it received the protest after the deadline, the protest was untimely. Accordingly, the original dismissal was affirmed.
