GAO launches new bid-protest system

The Government Accountability Office today established a new bid-protest process, which creates a new electronic docketing system and implements a new filing fee.

GAO first proposed the Electronic Docketing Protests System and $350 filing fee in April 2016.

Now, according to GAO, the EPADs will be the sole means for filing a bid protest with GAO, with exemptions for protests containing classified information or large documents that cannot be accommodated by the system.
