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.
