The statutorily mandated report contains an array of information about GAO’s bid protest forum over the prior fiscal year, including the most prevalent reasons GAO sustained protests along with a variety of statistical data. The big news is that while the number of bid protests filed continued to decline, GAO’s “Effectiveness Rate” held steady.
