GAO Bid Protest Update For June 2012
GAO Bid Protest Update For June 2012
However, In Estrategy, the Protestor challenged the agency's determination that another bidder was technically acceptable even though it had failed to provide proof of its licensing. In that case, the VA determined that the bidder's representation that it would provide copies of its licenses upon award was sufficient to render the bidder technically acceptable. The GAO denied the bid protest, finding that the VA determined that the bidder's promise to comply with all licensing requirements was acceptable and that there was no basis to object to the VA's determination. According to the GAO, the bidder's representation that it was licensed met the Solicitation's requirements as proof of licensure. Copies of the licenses were therefore not required.
