Matter of: Colorado Professional Resources, LLC File: B-404725.3 Date: November 16, 2012 Anne B. Perry, Esq., Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP, for the protester. Sharon A. Jenks, Esq., and Col. Mark S. Teskey, Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Christina Sklarew, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Request for reimbursement of protest costs is denied where record fails to establish that the agency unduly delayed taking corrective action in the face of clearly meritorious protest. DECISION Colorado Professional Resources, LLC (CPR) asks our Office to recommend that the Department of the Air Force reimburse its costs of filing and pursuing its protest of the Air Force's award of a contract to Infinity Systems Engineering, LLC under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA2550-08-R-8002, for support and engineering services for extremely high frequency satellite communications. CPR contends that the Air Force unduly delayed taking corrective action in the face of a clearly meritorious protest. We deny the request. BACKGROUND The RFP provided for award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. Following the award of the contract to Infinity and a debriefing, CPR protested to our Office, arguing, among other things, that the agency failed to analyze Infinity's proposal for cost realism, that Infinity had underpriced and understaffed the work required under the solicitation; that the agency had failed to amend the solicitation to reflect a reduction in the work that was actually required; and that the Air Force failed to meaningfully consider potential organizational conflict of interest (OCI) issues involving Infinity.
