http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/2825116.htm
   ATA Defense Industries, Inc. requests that our Office recommend
   that it recover the costs, including attorneys' fees, incurred in
   connection with its protest challenging proposed corrective
   action by the Department of the Army in response to our decision
   in ATA Defense Indus., Inc., B-282511, B-282511.2, July 21, 1999,
   99-2 CPD &para; 33, which sustained ATA's protest of a contract
   award to Caswell International Corporation under request for
   proposals (RFP) No. DAAE20-98-R-0215, issued by the Army's
   Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command for the Intermediate New
   Generation Army Targetry System (INGATS). After ATA filed its
   challenge to the Army's proposed corrective action, and prior to
   our decision, the Army abandoned its proposed approach and
   adopted an approach consistent with one suggested by ATA in its
   protest.

The General Accounting Office (GAO) today issued the following
Decisions and Opinions of the Comptroller General:
Appropriations Decisions:
-  GAO's Authority to Audit Capitol Concerts, B-284610, March 3, 2000
 
http://www.gao.gov/decisions/appro/284610.htm
   This responds to your joint January 27, 2000, request [1] for an
   opinion concerning the authority of the General Accounting Office
   (GAO) to audit private funds used by a private organization in
   connection with the annual Capitol concert series. For the
   reasons discussed below, we believe 40 U.S.C. &sect; 193m-1
   authorizes GAO to audit the private funds a private organization
   uses to perform services or conduct activities on United States
   Capitol grounds.

   of its proposal submitted under Program Research and Development
   Announcement (PRDA) No. 99-2-MLK, for Advanced Development of

Bid Protest Decisions:
-  Schaeffer Eye Center, B-284268, March 20, 2000
 
http://www.gao.gov/decisions/bidpro/284268.htm
   Schaeffer Eye Center protests the award of a contract to Classic

   247-0003-99, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
   for prescription eyeglasses for eligible veterans at VA medical
   centers in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Schaeffer
   contends that the award on the basis of Classic's lower-priced,
   lower-rated technical proposal is not in accordance with the
   RFP's stated evaluation scheme, which provided that technical
   factors were more important than price.
   We deny the protest.
