Protest of a solicitation's pricing provisions, amended as part of an agency's corrective action in response to the protester's earlier protests, is denied where the protester is not prejudiced by the amended pricing provisions. DECISION On6simus Defense, LLC, of Summerville, South Carolina, protests corrective actions taken by the Defense Logistics Agency-Energy (DLA) under request for proposals (RFP) No. SP0600-14-R-0422 for confined space training.

We deny the protest in part and dismiss it in part. This is On6simus's third protest of this procurement, which is being conducted using the commercial item procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12 and has been set aside for small businesses.
