GAO Rejects Rubber-Stamp LPTA Technical Evaluation
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 12.14.15
In a low-price-technically-acceptable procurement for IDIQ contracts for flame-resistant Army combat shirts, GAO sustained a challenge to the technical evaluation because the agency did not critically evaluate whether any of the three awardees' proposals actually met a particular solicitation requirement. GAO rejected the agency's nondescript finding that each awardee's proposal was "acceptable," and instead concluded that none of the awardees had provided a meaningful narrative addressing the requirement and that one, in fact, had included test data in its proposal showing that it did not meet the requirement.

Companies currently operating or constructing data centers near residential communities should treat this as a material and growing legal risk.
