SUMMARY: Bid Protests & GAO's Automatic stay. Government contractor needs to know this information. The automatic stay is one of the most powerful tools of a GAO protest. But if the protest is not handled correctly the automatic stay could easily be lost. This Stops the Government contract award until the GAO determines if the procurement violate any laws or regulations. If you have been awarded a contract and it's protested the contractor should become an intervenor to the action to protect their rights as awardee.
