The battle involving a $356 million Veterans Affairs Department contract for file conversion services is now entering a third round of protests.
GovCIO won the three-year contract toward the end of calendar 2022 and GDIT filed a protest in January 2023, arguing that the evaluation was improper and that GovCIO wasn’t capable of meeting the requirements of the File-to-File Conversion Service with File Indexing Management contract.
The Government Accountability Office ruled against VA in March, saying the agency didn’t adequately document the reasons for choosing GovCIO. GAO told VA to re-evaluate proposals and make a new award decision.
VA flipped the contract to GDIT in August and GovCIO responded with its own protest. That protest was quickly dismissed when VA said it would take another look.
For a second time, the award went to GDIT and GovCIO came back with a new protest filed Dec. 26. A decision from GAO is due by April 4.
