GAO sides with both challengers of $100M+ FEMA Information System Security Officer (ISSO) BPA

Updated March 25, 2025

OrangeSlices learned earlier today that GAO is siding with the second of two challengers who filed a post-award bid protest in relation to this hotly contested BPA.

The next steps taken can vary, but typically involve the agency (once again) taking a step back to revisit their eval process. Does that mean a new awardee will be named (again)? Not necessarily, but some action will need to be taken to deal with the issues raised as part of the protest.

More to be shared as it is made available.
