ERIC G. BRUGGINK, Senior Judge.
Plaintiff, Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind, d/b/a IFB Solutions ("IFB") contests a United States Department of Veterans Affairs ("VA") decision to override the automatic stay1 required by the Competition in Contracting Act ("CICA"), 31 U.S.C. § 3553 (2012), arguing that VA's decision was an irrational, arbitrary, and capricious abuse of discretion. On August 30, 2019, plaintiff filed its motion for immediate declaratory and injunctive relief.
Pursuant to the United States Government Accountability Office's ("GAO") September 18, 2019 decision2 dismissing IFB's protest, plaintiff's motion in this case is rendered moot as GAO's dismissal of IFB's protest eliminates the CICA stay. As such, this case is dismissed without prejudice. Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment accordingly.
