How Old Was the Docket You Checked This Morning?
Four GAO decisions posted today, one of them decided 28 days ago. Inside: the Fort Carson tradeoff that paid $1.98M for an incumbent teammate, the DISA protest killed by its own agency-level filing, Eglin's whole civil-engineer services package put on a single 2032 clock, and two NAVSUP sole sources citing two different section numbers on the same board.
Four decisions showed up on GAO's public bid-protest docket this morning. One of them was decided on September 4.
"How current is the feed you are checking?"
So we pulled the eight most recent decisions and read the date printed on each one against the date GAO files it under on the recent-decisions page. The gap ran 1 to 28 days, median 10.5 (chart below).
That matters operationally, and in one direction only. A docket check tells you what GAO has released, and the protest you are tracking may already be decided inside the agency's file while the public record still shows it open.
The 100-day clock is the clock that governs. The posting date is just when you get to read about it.
