Two Corrective Actions Later, the Incumbent Is Off the Job
DLH protested the same NIH task order twice and won corrective action both times. Then its order lapsed, the agency signed a sole-source bridge to the company it had been trying to award, and GAO said that was fine. Plus $4.8 billion of CIRCM on a single bid, a $289 million Navy services vehicle awarded without competition, and Fort Gordon's consolidation coming apart four days after SBA blessed it.

Somewhere in there the work stopped being theirs.
DLH's incumbent order expired on May 18. The next day NIH signed a sole-source justification and handed a $3.6 million bridge to Dynanet, the firm it had twice tried to give the long-term order to.
GAO denied DLH's protest of that bridge on Aug. 31 and posted the decision Tuesday.
