What the record shows
GAO identified irregularities in the protester's supplemental-protest citations, being unable to locate some decisions or finding that cited decisions did not state the asserted propositions. One of the protester's attorneys confirmed he used Westlaw's AI tool, CoCounsel, and acknowledged that some citations it provided were erroneous. Because it denied the protest, GAO declined to impose sanctions but advised that future non-existent citations may result in sanctions.
This entry reflects the court document as filed. The citations at issue could not be located in the reporters named at the time of the order. The reading here is descriptive of the public record and is not legal advice.

The test this filing did not run
Every matter in this record shares one mechanism: a citation that did not resolve to an opinion in the reporter named, in a brief that was filed before any verification step ran. Veritas runs that step. The Filing Risk Scanner extracts each citation, resolves it against reporter and public-record sources, and returns a verdict on each one — located, partial, or not located in reporter — before the brief is signed.
