FY 2019 Bid Protest Statistics - 23rd Year of Fiscal Year Results

[bob7947]

On the Home Page, I posted the annual GAO Fiscal Year (FY) bid protest results for 2019.  The numbers were affected by the government shutdown.  When I posted them, I realized Wifcon.com now has 23 years of statistics. ( I noticed some mistakes in my footnotes for last year and corrected them.  If you see any, let me know.)

GAO's annual statistics weren't published in its annual reports until FY 2003.  In that year, it published its statistics back to 2001.  You will see Wifcon.com's statistics go back to FY 1997.  How is that?  I remember calling the GAO bid protest unit to get some FY numbers for those early years.  How did I know they existed?  I don't remember but there are an extra 4 years here.

Thanks for all this Bob.  Really interesting.  I’m surprised ADR isn’t used more.  I can only guess reasons why.
