Bid Protests on DoD Source Selections

Abstract

This white paper provides an update that includes the Fiscal Year 2016 trends and adds our new analysis of the GAO's binning of contract values. Unlike our prior analysis featured in the USD/ AT and L's Performance of the Defense Acquisition System reports [Kendall 2016], this analysis only uses data provided directly by the GAO, and doesn't utilize bid protest statistics from other sources. We also fixed inconsistencies that we identified in the book keeping between filed and closed years and made an attempt to identify which GAO data field is being plotted, including a figure that plots the sustained protests by fiscal year filed and closed.
