File: B-411340 Date: July 8, 2015 Nancy M. Camardo, Esq., Camardo Law Firm, PC, for the protester. William D. Robinson, Esq., and Nihar Vora, Esq., Department of Justice, for the agency. Frank Maguire, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Contracting officer's decision to reject request to extend the closing date for proposals by three weeks was not objectionable where the agency reasonably concluded that further delays (after a prior two week extension) would jeopardize the contract award date required in order to maintain continuity of services. DECISION Bannum, Inc., of Odessa, Florida, protests the decision of the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), to decline to extend the closing date for proposals under request for proposals (RFP) No. 200-1268-ES, for Residential Reentry Center (RRC) and home confinement services for Federal offenders in Savannah, Georgia. Bannum asserts that the agency's decision not to extend the closing date was unreasonable. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On July 15, 2014, BOP issued a request for information (RFI) regarding the availability of RRC and home confinement services in the Savannah area. AR, Tab 3, RFI. On December 10, the agency issued a presolicitation notice advising potential offerors that the agency would be issuing a solicitation for RRC and home confinement services within the city limits of Savannah on or about January 12, 2015, with an estimated closing date.., on or about March 13, 2015.
