PA Team

The Government Accountability Office PA Team is a civilian sub-agency within the General Accountability Office that conducts public affairs and communications activities in support of GAO's legislative and investigative mandate. The agency operates as an internal support function rather than as a primary federal procurement or grant-making entity.

Contract activity at the PA Team is minimal and historical. The agency has issued two federal contract awards since 2013, with a combined potential value of $12 thousand. The first award closed on August 19, 2013, and the most recent award closed on May 26, 2016, reflecting a gap of more than a decade in recorded contracting activity. Both awards carried no set-aside designation and went to two distinct prime contractors; combined dollars obligated total $12 thousand (100% of the combined potential value). No recent contract awards are recorded against the PA Team as of 2026.

No recent contract opportunities are currently open, and no grant activity is recorded against the PA Team.

The minimal contract footprint reflects the PA Team's role as an internal communications function rather than as a principal contracting office. For business development professionals, the PA Team does not represent an active procurement or grant opportunity at present.
