I appreciate the feedback! I am new to this for posting but love to peruse it occasionally. I had found that original quote above and forwarded it to others in the company. I'm happy to have a more recent example as well.

Bidding on a solicitation where First Article Approval (FAA) may be waived (and costs removed and not considered in the evaluation) with proper paperwork provided by bidder and approval by the government. This provides the incumbent with a distinct pricing advantage. I was googling GAO decisions and can’t find anything later than 1978 where this is even being reviewed. Has anyone had experience with this? Why wouldn’t this be considered an unfair advantage to the incumbent?
