The protest by Berney Associates related to this National Institutes of Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute requirement focused on Leadership Discovery and the Executive Core Competency of building coalitions and the Fundamental Competencies of oral communication and interpersonal skills 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.
