GAO Maintains Jurisdiction Over Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Procurements, Even Though Agency Uses Non-Appropriated Funds; GAO B-413887, Information Experts Inc.

Protest challenging the agency’s evaluation of proposals is denied, where the agency reasonably evaluated the offerors’ experience with the requirements described in the statement of work, although such experience was not specifically called out as an evaluation criteria; and agency challenge to GAO’s jurisdiction over the protest is denied, because the Consumer Financial Protection Board is a federal agency, even though it is funded by non-appropriated funds and that funding was used in the procurement being protested.
