Protest Spotlight

(This regular feature highlights protests decided by the Government Accountability Office.)

Agency: Army Intelligence and Security Command
Awardee: CWU Inc.
Protester: Strategic Intelligence Group

What GAO found: SIG protested the award of a $143 million task order to CWU for linguist support services, arguing the Army's evaluation was flawed. In particular, the contractor criticized the service's evaluation of past performance. The Government Accountability Office backed the Army, arguing "the protester has failed to demonstrate that the agency’s evaluation in this regard was unreasonable or inconsistent with the record."
