GAO Dismisses Subcontract Protest
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 05.19.04
Noting that its protest jurisdiction extends only to awards “by a Federal agency,” in Addison Construction, Inc., B-293805, April 20, 2004, GAO dismissed the protest because the prime contractor evaluated the proposals and made the award decision. However, GAO noted it would take jurisdiction if the agency handled all the substantive aspects of the procurement, even if the prime contractor handled the procedural aspects, such as issuing the solicitation and receiving proposals.

NAIC Intensifies AI Regulatory Focus: What Health Insurance Payors Need to Know
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is intensifying its oversight of how insurers use AI — and the pace of regulatory activity shows no signs of slowing. Over the past several months, the NAIC has published a formal Issue Brief staking out its position on federal AI legislation, launched a multistate AI Evaluation Tool pilot aimed at examining insurers’ AI governance programs, and continued to expand adoption of its AI Model Bulletin across state lines. These developments continue a trend towards enhancing regulation; the NAIC adopted AI Principles in 2020 and a Model Bulletin in 2023 clarifying that existing insurance laws apply to AI systems and establishing expectations for governance, documentation, testing, and third-party oversight. That Model Bulletin has now been adopted in approximately 24 states.
