# GAO Sustains Protests Over Eglin Pricing Disclosure

The Government Accountability Office sustained protests by Fluor and Reliance Test & Technology concerning the Air Force’s disclosure of pricing information to one bidder in the **$1.9 billion** Eglin Operations and Maintenance Services II competition at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. GAO directed the Air Force to reassess the disclosure’s competitive impact and take mitigating steps that do not further compromise the procurement. The ruling did not finally resolve the award to Strategic Test Solutions.

- The Air Force must evaluate how the pricing disclosure affected competition and determine appropriate mitigation; the ruling does not specify the final corrective action.
- The award outcome remains unresolved, so bidders and contractors should account for possible changes to the competition as the Air Force carries out that reassessment.
