GAO subsequently received protests from other firms challenging the alleged improper influence of Mrs. Druyun regarding contracts awarded by the Air Force under the small diameter bomb program and the C-130 avionics modernization upgrade program. The Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 provides statutory authority for GAO's bid protest function. Consistent with standard practices, GAO reviewed all available documentation, held hearings to receive testimony from witnesses, considered arguments from all interested parties, and issued decisions on each of the protests. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-436T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-436T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-436T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-436T.pdf GAO-05-436T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-436T Testimony GAO-05-436T; Air Force Procurement: Protests Challenging Role of Biased Official Sustained; Accountability Air Force procurement Bias in procurement Bid protests Conflict of interests Evaluation criteria Federal regulations Legal opinions Malfeasance Procurement records Air Force Small Diameter Bomb C-130 Aircraft Hercules Aircraft KC-767A Aircraft
