Air Force Award Downed by Inadequate OCI Assessment
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 09.15.16
In AT&T Gov’t Solutions, Inc. (released Sept. 12, 2016), in which C&M represented AT&T, GAO sustained the protest of the Air Force’s award for computer network operations and cyberspace warfare operations. GAO determined that the Air Force had failed to reasonably evaluate whether the awardee had adequately avoided or mitigated unequal access to competitively sensitive information to which the awardee had access through its subcontractor that had provided acquisition support for the program and that the Air Force award decision was also premised on flawed past performance evaluations.
