GAO Fax Number — Submit Fraud Reports and Document Requests

The Government Accountability Office takes faxed fraud reports through its FraudNet program, FOIA requests, and certain bid protest correspondence at its headquarters fax, 202-512-5806. Bid protests themselves now run through GAO's Electronic Protest Docketing System, and they carry tight deadlines that leave little room for a fax that arrives late. FraudNet reports about waste, fraud, or abuse can come in by fax or online, but either way they work best with specifics rather than generalities.

What You Can Fax to Government Accountability Office

  • FraudNet fraud/waste/abuse reports
  • FOIA requests
  • Bid protest filings
  • Congressional testimony requests
  • Report requests
Tip: For a bid protest, watch the clock closely, because GAO's timeframes are short and the protest belongs in the Electronic Protest Docketing System rather than on a fax line. When you report through FraudNet, name the agency involved, describe the specific conduct, and attach whatever supporting evidence you have so the tip can be evaluated. Send anything time-sensitive with a service that confirms delivery so you can show 202-512-5806 received it on the day it mattered.

Faxing to Government Accountability Office — FAQ

GAO headquarters lists 202-512-5806. FraudNet maintains a separate intake for fraud reports, and bid protests are filed through the Electronic Protest Docketing System rather than by fax.

Bid protests carry strict deadlines, often around 10 days depending on the circumstance, and are filed through GAO's Electronic Protest Docketing System (EPDS). Missing the window can end the protest, so track the timing carefully.

Yes, through FraudNet. Include the agency involved, a specific description of the alleged waste, fraud, or abuse, and any documentation that supports the claim so investigators have something concrete to work from.

Vague reports are hard to act on. Naming the agency, the conduct, the dates, and the dollars involved gives GAO enough to evaluate the matter without coming back to you for basics.

Yes. Send FAX Mail transmits from your computer or phone and returns a delivery confirmation. Plans start at $12.99/mo with free number selection, and each tier carries a monthly page allowance; a heavy FraudNet or FOIA filer who needs more just moves to a larger plan rather than paying per page.
