This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Skyward IT Solutions, LLC File: B-421561.10 Date: October 10, 2023 David B. Dixon, Esq., Robert C. Starling, Esq., Toghrul M. Shukurlu, Esq., and Aleksey R. Dabbs, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, for the protester. Pamela R. Waldron, Esq., and Krystal Jordan, Esq., Department of Health and Human Services, for the agency. Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the scope of an agency's proposed corrective action in response to several earlier protests is denied where the corrective action is reasonable in light of the flaws the agency believes exist in the procurement. DECISION Skyward IT Solutions, LLC, a small business located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, protests the scope of the agency's corrective action concerning request for quotations (RFQ) No. 75FCMC21 Q0013, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), for the establishment of multiple blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) for agile collaboration and modernization endeavors. Skyward argues that the agency's corrective action fails to identify the flaws in the procurement process that the corrective action is intended to remedy. The protester also asserts that the corrective action is insufficient to address the issues raised in Skyward's prior protest. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On June 21, 2021, the agency issued the RFQ to vendors holding contracts under General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule special item number (SIN) 54151S, for information technology professional services, using the procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 8.4.
