Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: New SI, LLC File: B-295209; B-295209.2; B-295209.3 Date: November 22, 2004 W. Jay DeVecchio, Esq., and Lisanne E. S.
