Search 31 U.S.C. § 3552 : US Code - Section 3552: Protests by interested parties concerning procurement actions

(a) A protest concerning an alleged violation of a procurement
statute or regulation shall be decided by the Comptroller General
if filed in accordance with this subchapter.
(b)(1) In the case of an agency tender official who is an
interested party under section 3551(2)(B) of this title, the
official may file a protest in connection with the public-private
competition for which the official is an interested party. At the
request of a majority of the employees of the Federal agency who
are engaged in the performance of the activity or function subject
to such public-private competition, the official shall file a
protest in connection with such public-private competition unless
the official determines that there is no reasonable basis for the
protest.
(2) The determination of an agency tender official under
paragraph (1) whether or not to file a protest is not subject to
administrative or judicial review. An agency tender official shall
provide written notification to Congress whenever the official
makes a determination under paragraph (1) that there is no
reasonable basis for a protest.
