Lessons Learned from the GAO Protest Docket – Part 4

By Lohfeld Consulting, April 20, 2023

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) Protest Docket is one of the best sources of information to learn how the government grades best-value competitions. The Docket explains the proposal requirements, how the government graded the proposal, and their justification for the score. A summary of three cases from GAO’s March 2023 Protest Docket follows with lessons you can use to improve your proposal scores. Our summary deletes references to the solicitation name, protester, and winners(s) to focus on key messages from GAO’s findings.
