GAO Defers to Agency on Impact of Sequestration
Client Alert | 1 min read | 12.06.13
In Vinculum Solutions, Inc.—Reconsideration (Dec. 3, 2013), GAO reconfirmed its conclusion in the first published decision on the issue (previously discussed here) that an agency's need to reduce costs due to sequestration may be a valid basis for canceling a solicitation.
