B-208159.15 1 (1989-02-03)

handle is hein.gao/gaobableh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: R Comptroller General 0 of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 B-2081 59.15 February 3, 1989 The Honorable Carl Levin Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: This is in response to your letter dated November 10, 1988, asking a number of questions concerning our bid protest function. You requested various categories of statistical information for each year since the bid protest provisions of the Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 (CICA), 31 U.S.C. S 3551-3556 (Supp. IV 1986), became effective on January 15, 1985. Our responses to your questions follow: 1. How many CICA bid protests were filed with the GAO?1/ 1985: 1,760 1986: 2,552 1987: 2,622 1988: 2,639 1/ The response to this question and to all that follow are on a fiscal year basis. Since CICA did not become effective until January 15, 1985, the CICA statistics for that year reflect only approximately three-quarters of a year. Because 1985 was a change-over year, our statistical data is incomplete with respect to most of the other questions which you have asked; therefore, we have not included 1985 in the remainder of our answers. We have also omitted 1989 because we only have limited data available for approximately one- quarter of the year, which does not permit us to provide meaningful statistical information.
