handle is hein.gao/gaomtu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. 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: Amaze Technologies, LLC File: B-419919.2 Date: February 10, 2022 Shane J., McCall, Esq., Nicole Pottroff, Esq., Christopher Coleman, Esq., John L. Holtz, Esq., and Kevin Wickliffe, Esq., Koprince McCall Pottroff LLC, for the protester. Colonel Frank Yoon, Lieutenant Colonel Matthew W. Ramage-White, Major Thomas Pfeifer, Kevin P. Stiens, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. David A. Edelstein, Esq., and Evan C. Williams, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Request for recommendation that agency reimburse the protester's costs associated with filing and pursuing its protest of a term of a solicitation is granted where the protest was clearly meritorious and the agency unduly delayed taking corrective action until after the protest record was fully developed through Small Business Administration comments and the parties' responses to those comments. DECISION Amaze Technologies, LLC, a small business of Herndon, Virginia, requests that we recommend the firm be reimbursed its reasonable costs of pursuing its protest. The protester challenged the terms of Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) No. FA4890-21-R-0001, issued by the Department of the Air Force for training, operations, communications, and administrative services. Specifically, the protester alleged that a solicitation term requiring joint ventures to possess a facility clearance violated a Small Business Administration (SBA) regulation regarding joint ventures. After our Office sought and received SBA's views on the matter and the parties filed responses to SBA's submission, the Air Force stated that it would take corrective action, and we dismissed the protest as academic. We grant the request.
