A Accountabity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been Dec*ionapproved for public release. Matter of: FAS Support Services, LLC File: B-402464; B-402464.2; B-402464.3 Date: April 21, 2010 John C. Dulske, Esq., Joan Kelley Fowler Gluys, Esq., and Bryan L. Kost, Esq., Dulske & Gluys, PC, for the protester. Thomas C. Papson, Esq., and Todd J. Canni, Esq., McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, for Vinnell Brown & Root LLC, an intervenor. Maj. Theodore T. Richard, and Larry M. Anderson, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Firm's challenge to an agency's refusal to reinstate the protester into an on-going competition after the lifting of the firm's suspension from contracting with the federal government is denied, where the record shows that the agency reasonably concluded that reinstatement would cause unacceptable delay to the procurement. DECISION FAS Support Services, LLC, of Dallas, Texas, challenges the award of a contract by the Department of the Air Force to Vinnell Brown & Root LLC (VBR), of Herndon, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA5613-08-R-5010 for base operation and maintenance services at facilities in Turkey and Spain. During the procurement, FAS was suspended from contracting with the federal government. Although this suspension was lifted prior to award, the agency declined to reinstate FAS into the on-going competition. FAS contends that the Air Force acted unreasonably in refusing to reinstate its proposal, and also challenges the agency's evaluation of VBR's proposal. We deny the protest.
