See e.g. Townsend v. Little and others. 109 U.S. 504, 511 ( 1883 ) ( "constructive notice is defined to be in its nature no more than evidence of notice, the presumption of which is so violent that the court will not even allow of its being controverted") By definition the doctine imputes knowledge to a party without regard to the party's actual knowledge of the matter at issue. Given the severity of such a rule, our decisions holding protesters to constructive notice of information published in the CBD and now on FedBizOpps have been expressly designated by statue and regulation as the official medium for providing notice of contracting actions by federal agencies. See Herndon & Thompson, B-240748, Oct. 24, 1990, 90-2 CPD ¶ 327 at 3 ( protesters are charged with constructive notice of contents of procurement synopsis published in the CBD since it is the official public medium for identifying proposed contract actions); see also 15 U.S.C. § 637 ( e )( 2 )( A ) ( 2000 ); 41 U.S.C. § 416( a )( 7 ) ( 2000 ); FAR 2.101 ( Designating FedBizOpps as the governmentwide point of entry ( GPE ), "the single point where Government business opportunities greater than $ 25,000, including synopsis of proposed contract actions, solicitations, and associated information, can be accessed electronically by the public" ).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97685134337018982.post-21380625000877290032016-08-31T04:29:57.652-07:002016-08-31T04:29:57.652-07:00WHY CONGRESS TO WE HAVE TO DEPEND UPON A BIASED, A...WHY CONGRESS TO WE HAVE TO DEPEND UPON A BIASED, ANTI-VETERAN, ANT-SMALL BUSINESS GAO THAT DOESN'T INVITE THE SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION TO COMMENT ?<br /><br />During Latvian's 2 wins against FEDBID - FEDBID themselves were suspended for ETHICS AND INTEGRITY VIOLATIONS http://bit.ly/1C7OiG3 noted in an article by NICK WAKEMAN, for blatant bid-rigging and Executive Level violations and acting for gain while an Obama Administration employee for personal gain and unprofessionally acting as a FEDBID agent while a U.S. Government employee.

The core problems is that solicitations are not being AUTOMATICALLY set aside. That is more mandatory than SHALL decided 8 - 0 in the Supreme Court for the Dept of Veteran's Affairs contracting Executives and Contracting Officers that circumvented unambiguous plain text language. Congress has stated that U.S. Federal Agencies will aide and assist U.S. Small Businesses and Veteran Owned Small Businesses ( VOSB and SDVOSB alike ) I don't see that, I see U.S. Small Business contract money being awarded to Large Businesses and foreign businesses with the aiding and abetting being U.S. Federal Contracting Officers facilitating the theft ( white collar crime ) and already defined Presumed Loss to U.S. Small Businesses. Overseas contract money is and always has been part of the U.S. Federal Budget. Do you believe B-408633 and Places of Performance happened without an effort ? What about Obama's Joseph Jordan joining FEDBID and within a month 3 companies that prevailed at the GAO were suspended: AEROSAGE LLC; FITNET INC. ; and LATVIAN CONNECTION LLC. LATVIAN FILED 500 GAO PROTESTS to protest that a private company could not suspend a U.S. Small Business from accessing FEDERAL contracts. As a result of Latvian's win against the State Department and FEDBID in B-410947 in a sustained protest and another the same week against FEDBID and the Dept of Interior in B-410981 where the GAO stated that FEDBID doesn't comply with the Small Business Act and doesn't comply with other Federal Procurement Rule and Regulations. After that win against Billionaires Steve Case and Ted Leonsis, General George Casey, and Revolution Group - FEDBID will never suspend another U.S. Small Business. But FEDBID still violates 55 FEDERAL Laws, Statutes and Regulations, ACTS, and Directives. FEDBID platform circumvents the DD Form 2579 Small Business Coordination Record and a host of other violations. There is a Request for the Small Business Administration to investigate these 55 violations by FEDBID of Federal Laws. That was abuse and Latvian prevailed and Small Businesses will benefit. The other abuses are outline in the LATVIAN CONNECTION LLC STATEMENT http://bit.ly/2bCKJEy KEVEN L.
