White House and Military Departments Release Guidance as (Another) Budget Deadline Approaches
Client Alert | 1 min read | 01.18.13
In the past week, OMB, DoD, Army, Air Force, and Navy have all released guidance directing their subordinate entities to begin planning for the possibility of sequestration (presently scheduled to result in the cancellation of approximately $85 billion in FY13 budgetary resources) beginning on March 1, 2013, and for the expiration of the FY13 Continuing Appropriations Resolution (which expires on March 27, 2013, and must either be extended or replaced with new appropriations acts to prevent a lapse in appropriations and government shutdown). While the guidance cautions that efforts to prevent sequestration and ensure continued appropriations are underway, the memos acknowledge that, as a practical matter, agencies must begin planning for the possibility that they will need to operate with dramatically reduced budgetary resources.

It is well established that “[c]ompetitive prejudice is an essential element of every viable protest.” Yet, for decades, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has tempered this requirement with two critical corollaries: protesters need only demonstrate a “reasonable possibility” that they were prejudiced by an agency’s actions, and GAO “will resolve doubts regarding prejudice in favor of the protester.” These principles have been consistent features of GAO’s bid protest jurisprudence for more than 30 years.
