GAO Suspends Firm From Filing Bid Protests for a Year | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update
The GAO (General Accountability Office) has suspended a firm from filing bid protests for a year. This action comes after the company submitted 150 protests in this fiscal year alone and nearly 300 more protests in the four years preceding. None of the appeals were ever sustained, usually because the protester was not an “interested party” – a prerequisite to filing a bid protest. By anyone’s measure, the company was abusing the system. GAO finally had enough and took the unprecedented action of suspending the company from filing bid protests for a year.
