ADVISOR READOUT

Why this matter warrants attention

Fabricated: Legal Norm | The protest cited nonexistent lettered subsections of 31 U.S.C. § 3551. GAO stated that § 3551 uses numbered paragraphs, §§ 3551(1)-(3), and contains no § 3551(a) or § 3551(e). Outcome: GAO dismissed the protest under 4 C.F.R. § 21.11(b) because a related protest was pending before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims.. The protester's filing cited nonexistent provisions, 31 U.S.C. § 3551(a) and § 3551(e), and attributed quotations concerning nonexclusivity of remedies and judicial review to those provisions. GAO explained that § 3551 contains numbered paragraphs, not lettered subsections, and that the quoted nonexclusivity language appears instead in 31 U.S.C. § 3556. GAO also rejected the protester's characterization of CICA as requiring concurrent GAO and Court of Federal Claims jurisdiction, holding that the protest was properly dismissed because the related court litigation could render GAO review academic and avoiding inconsistent outcomes warranted dismissal.
