Parties to a bid protest are considered to have constructive knowledge of the contents of the GAO's Bid Protest Regulations because the regulations are published in the Federal Register.20 In addition to the GAO's Bid Protest Regulations, bid protest decisions have been issued by the Comptroller General that expressly recognize and rigidly uphold the timeliness requirements contained in these regulations.21 The GAO recognizes relatively few exceptions to its timeliness rule, and these exceptions have high substantive thresholds, making their successful use a rare occurrence.22 As a consequence, the GAO has been able to maintain the integrity of the bid protest process while still providing a forum for protesters where their grievances can be reviewed in a fair, economical, and speed...

Seis Helicopters, Inc. v. United States In 2005, the Military Sealift Command (MSC) issued a solicitation to procure three two-helicopter detachments to provide vertical replenishment services in support of U.S. Navy operations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans and adjacent areas.5 The MSC solicited for a firm, fixed-price contract6 and received six proposals that were evaluated by a source selection evaluation board (SSEB).7 Geo-Seis Helicopters, Presidential Airways, Inc., and four other companies submitted timely proposals, but the agency deemed the initial proposals to be unsatisfactory.8 After further discussions with the bidders, the agency set 22 March 2006 at 2:00 p.m. as the date and time for receipt of final proposal revisions.9 Revisions by several offerors were timely receive...

PURPOSE AND STANDARDS The purpose of the CICA stay is to preserve the status quo during the pendency of a protest and allow a successful protester meaningful relief.9 Although the stay may result in significant disruption and inconvenience to the agency, it furthers full and open competition and otherwise protects the integrity of the procurement process, all of which serve the interests of the Air Force and of the United States. The second protest requires another independent and stand-alone HCA decision and D&F.18 The CICA and the FAR require the agency to notify the GAO of its finding and decision prior to awarding the contract, as well as prior to continuing performance under an awarded contract.19 Although the GAO has no authority to review agency override decisions, the stand...
