How to Appeal an Award Denial Result

The decision of the review is considered final unless appealed by the government.  

If your review decision is a denial, and your entity wishes to appeal, the government must submit a formal request for reconsideration within 30 days of the receipt of the initial results notification letter.  

The formal request should include responses to the comments and suggestions for improvement, concentrating on those comments that were noted as being the reason the government did not receive the award.  

The request will be forwarded to the original reviewers for further consideration. 

Once the appeal has been reviewed, the entity will be contacted with the results. 

Decisions resulting from the appeal process are final. 

When you are ready to submit the appeal contact the COA Program for directions on where to send your Request of Appeal.
