- tssva 6y agoThis is not unusual for large government contracts. They can often go through multiple rounds of appeals and recompetes leading eventually to the effort being abandoned. I was once involved in a contract award that was appealed and recompeted 3 times. Each time the incumbent was issued a contract extension to keep the lights on. Eventually the whole process had taken longer than the period of performance the contract was to cover. By then the agency's needs had changed and the whole thing was scrapped.
