    Trouble is they’re suing in court now instead, apparently. Clearly they knew the Govt Acc Office was not going to allow their protest as the grounds were insufficient.

    ”...While Eastern did not provide additional details, USNI News understands the Panama City, Fla., shipbuilder will continue to pursue the protest in federal court. Among Eastern’s grounds for the now withdrawn GAO protest included Austal having access to leaked pricing information and Austal employing a former Coast Guard officer who would have non-public information on the OPC program.”

    I don’t rate Eastern’s chances in court at all and think it’s purely sour grapes they are doing this. Nevertheless the downrampers will all have their say and the market isn’t a fan of more litigation and uncertainty.
