Lying Gets You Nowhere: GAO Dismisses Protest Built on Fabricated Facts

In Aim for AdVantage, LLC, GAO dismissed a protest as a sanction after finding that the protester had materially misrepresented the facts underlying its challenge to the rejection of its proposal.

GAO’s decision to dismiss the protest as a sanction for these misrepresentations serves as a stark warning: fabricating facts in a GAO protest may result in serious consequences.
