Jurisdiction

GAO has jurisdiction over protests concerning the award or proposed award of contracts by federal agencies under procurement statutes and regulations, including pre-award protests challenging solicitation terms and post-award protests challenging award decisions. GAO can also hear protests of task order awards over $10 million on IDIQ contracts. GAO does not have jurisdiction over grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts awarded by non-appropriated fund activities.

Filing Deadline

Pre-award protests must be filed before the closing date for receipt of proposals. Post-award protests must be filed within 10 calendar days of contract award or within 5 calendar days of a debriefing date offered within the 10-day period. For task orders over $10 million on IDIQ contracts, the deadline is 10 days after award notification. Challenges to solicitation terms apparent on the face of the solicitation must be filed before the closing date.

Decision Timeline

100 calendar days (statutory deadline under CICA). Express option available for protests where the contracting activity requests expedited resolution (65 calendar days). The vast majority of GAO decisions are issued within the 100-day statutory period.

Authority

Competition in Contracting Act (CICA), 31 U.S.C. 3551-3556; GAO Bid Protest Regulations, 4 CFR Part 21

Key Procedures

  1. File electronically through the Electronic Protest Docketing System (EPDS) at gao.gov
  2. Protest must identify the solicitation or contract number, protester's interest, legal and factual bases, and relief requested
  3. GAO notifies the agency within one day and triggers the automatic CICA stay of award or performance
  4. Agency files an Agency Report within 30 calendar days including the contracting officer's statement, relevant documents, and a memorandum of law
  5. Protester files comments on the Agency Report within 10 days
  6. GAO may hold alternative dispute resolution (ADR) conferences or outcome prediction conferences
  7. GAO issues a written decision within 100 days — sustain, deny, or dismiss
  8. If sustained, GAO recommends corrective action and the agency has 60 days to report compliance

Advantages

  • Free to file — no filing fees or court costs
  • Fastest external forum with a statutory 100-day decision timeline
  • Automatic CICA stay halts contract award or performance when filed timely
  • Well-established body of precedent spanning decades of protest decisions
  • GAO attorneys manage the process and facilitate efficient resolution
  • Agencies comply with GAO recommendations approximately 99% of the time
  • Approximately 45-50% of protests result in corrective action before a decision is issued
  • Accessible to small businesses without extensive litigation experience

Disadvantages

  • GAO recommendations are technically non-binding (though rarely ignored)
  • Limited discovery compared to COFC — no depositions or interrogatories
  • No live testimony or cross-examination of witnesses
  • Strict timeliness requirements — missing deadlines by one day results in dismissal
  • 100-day timeline can feel rushed for complex, multi-issue protests
  • GAO will not review the technical merits of an evaluation — only whether the evaluation was reasonable
  • No attorneys' fees or bid preparation costs in most cases
