Following bipartisan passage (414-2) in the House on July 18, the Senate on Wednesday passed the Sequestration Transparency Act of 2012 requiring OMB to prepare a report for Congress within 30 days identifying each account to be sequestered and the resulting reductions at the program, project, and activity level; itemizing all exempt accounts; and providing any other data and explanations necessary to enhance public understanding of the sequester. While the Administration initially opposed the Act, press reports now indicate that the President will likely sign the bill into law.

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.
