Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: GOV National Healthcare Drive, LLC File: B-419258.4 Date: October 7, 2021 Paul F. Khoury, Esq., Richard B. O'Keeffe, Jr., Esq., and Lindy C. Bathurst, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester. Alicia M. Harrington, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Request for recommendation that agency reimburse a greater portion of the protester's costs than the agency has agreed to pay is granted, in part, and denied, in part; record shows that agency unreasonably rejected many--but not all--of the protester's claimed costs. DECISION GOV National Healthcare Drive, LLC, a small business of Huntington, New York, requests that our Office recommend that it be reimbursed certain additional costs associated with preparing its proposal in response to request for lease proposals (RFP) No. 36C10F18R0659, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the lease of premises to be used for a community-based outpatient clinic in Daytona Beach, Florida. GOV also requests that we recommend that it be reimbursed certain additional costs associated with filing and pursuing a bid protest challenging the award of the lease under the RFP to Carnegie Management and Development Corporation. Following an earlier decision from our Office sustaining GOV's protest and recommending that it be reimbursed the aforementioned costs, GOV submitted its certified claim for such costs to the VA. The agency has agreed to pay a total of $197,730.50 of this claim and our decision here addresses only the disputed portion of the claim, as detailed below. We grant the request, in part, and deny it, in part.
