   copies of our decisions in the case explaining in greater detail the particulars surrounding
   the procurement.

   During the fiscal year, we received 1,898 protests (including 64 cost claims) and 91 requests
   for reconsideration, for a total of 1,989.cases. We closed 1,920 cases: 1,822 protests

   A copy of this report, with the enclosures, is being furnished to the Chairman and Ranking
