Protest period for A-76 decisions pass Published Oct. 6, 2008 SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Air Education and Training Command has announced that the 10-day protest period for the Trainer Development and Fitness Center workforce portions of the Sheppard A-76 competition has ended without any protests being filed. This means Sheppard can begin implementing these portions of the performance decision, which favored the government Most Efficient Organization team. The 10-day protest period begins when the bidding parties are debriefed. The debriefing for the Civil Engineering portion has not yet occurred and AETC has not yet been able to schedule a date for that briefing. A decision regarding the Technical Training Support Services portion was announced Oct. 1. Sheppard's Cost Comparison Office will continue to provide regular updates on the A-76 process.
