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 Department of the Army contract award for medical instruction and support services, contending that the award does not reflect the best value of the government, given the protester's significantly lower price. GAO held that the Army reasonably determined, consistent with the evaluation criteria, that the technical superiority of the awardee's proposal outweighed the price advantage offered by the protester's proposal. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
