Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: DGCI Corporation File: B-422316.2 Date: May 6, 2024 Lawrence J. Sklute, Esq., Sklute & Associates, for the protester. Steven M.
