Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: RELYANT Global, LLC File: B-422475 Date: July 1, 2024 Jared Garceau, Esq., for the protester. John W. Cox, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Jungi Hong, Michael P. Grogan, Esq., and Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
