Michelle Harrell, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Mary G. Curcio, Es4., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. VIRST Claimant may not recover costs of filing and pursuing General Accounting Office protest which are not sufficiently documented or are unreasonable. MCI Tom Consolidated Bell, Inc. requests that our'Office determine the amount it is ent:ttled to recover from the General Services Administratio'n (GSA) for proposal preparation costs in connection with the offer it submitted udder solicitation No. KECS-85-025, and for the cost of filing and pursuing its protest in Consolidated Bell, Inc., B-220425, Mar. 11, 1986, 86-1 CPD 1 238. As discussed bel-w, we find that Bell is entitled to recover 49O in protest costs. In our decision Consolidatid Bell .Inc., B-220425,supra, we sustained the firm's protest that 'GSA improperly determined that Bell's proposal was unacceptable. We initially recom- mended that GSA either terminate UIe awarded contract and award one to Bell or enter into discussions to include Bell. GSA subsequently informed our Office that while it had terminated the awarded contract, due to a lack of funds it could no longer award a contract under the protested solicita- tion. As a result, and because no other remedy was available, we amended our decision to permit Bell to recover the costs it incurred in filing and pursuing its protest and its proposal preparation costs. Consolidated Bell In,. B-220425.2, Aug. 18, 1986, 86-2 GPO 1 192. We dif-le- Bell to submit its claim directly to GSA.
