G2X TAKE: The protest by AvantGarde LLC related to this 5-year, $29M contract by the Department of Energy, intended to provide human resources infrastructure talent acquisition and outreach support services, has now been dismissed.  No details have been provided as to the grounds for the challenge at this time, nor the reason for the dismissal.  Please note that a ‘dismissal’ by GAO does not necessarily mean the issue is resolved and oftentimes only indicates the contracting authority/agency has agreed to proactively take some corrective action to address a deficiency identified as part of the protest process.  Details on the award to  EDWOSB Business Management Associates (BMA), who beat out three other bidders, is available here.
