Fifteen GAO Decisions, One Clear Message: Precision Wins Protests
Over the last three weeks, the Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) issued fifteen bid protest decisions spanning agencies as varied as the Air Force, NASA, GSA, the VA, DHS, and even USASOC's live-goat training program. Taken individually, each decision resolves a narrow dispute over a specific solicitation. Taken together, they reveal a consistent pattern in how GAO evaluates protests and a clear roadmap for contractors who want to protest effectively, or avoid giving competitors grounds to protest against them. |
