Dear Mr. Kang:

We are writing to submit comments on the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s (“GAO”) proposed rule, issued April 15, 2016, 81 Fed. Reg. 22,197. Our firm represents small businesses operating across the government contracting spectrum, including many small businesses that participate in the GAO bid protest process. In general, we believe that the proposed rule’s establishment of an electronic filing and document dissemination system will have a beneficial impact on streamlining the GAO process. Such a streamlined process will facilitate the filing and tracking of protests by small businesses.
