It has been nearly two years since the award was announced, but the back and forth continues. On the heels of a recent GAO denial (see full denial decision here), a fresh protest has now (once again) been filed by Two Knights Defense with the Court of Federal Claims. This is the 2nd time this case will be put to the test with the Courts – the first time resulted in the agency taking corrective action. More will be shared as it is made available.

GAO has once again sided with the government and defendant, denying the latest in a series of protests related to this $266 Missile Defense Agency support contract that will directly support the MDA CIO and stakeholder missions to ensure that information management and information technology resources are acquired, managed, operated, and protected in accordance with Federal laws and DoD policy.
