Army Clears Path For Revised Proposals And New Award Decision
The Government Accountability Office has denied a protest by DCS Corp. over the Army’s $237 million contract for soldier gear, clearing the way for the Army to re-evaluate proposals and make a new award decision. The contract, which includes equipment such as boots, combat uniforms, and camouflage accessories, will provide essential support for soldiers. The Army’s corrective action, agreed upon in March, focused on re-evaluating small business participation, pricing, and other factors. DCS Corp. argued that the corrective action did not go far enough, but the GAO sided with the Army. This decision was first reported by Washington Technology.
