Cordatis protest win snatches victory from the jaws of defeat

May 13, 2024

In the protest, Cordatis persuaded GAO that the Department of Homeland Security based its award decision on an unfair evaluation that relied on unstated evaluation criteria. As a result of the win, our client remains in the running for the $17 million contract at issue in the protest.
