Matter of:   Bannum, Inc.

File:        B-414336

Date:        May 15, 2017

Nancy M. Camardo, Esq., Joseph A. Camardo, Esq., and Justin T. Huffman, Esq.,
Camardo Law Firm, PC, for the protester.
Sarah Bloom, Esq., Seth Bogin, Esq., and William D. Robinson, Esq., Bureau of
Prisons, for the agency.
Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest challenging agency's rejection of proposal is denied where the agency
discovered that the facility proposed by the protester to perform the contract was no
longer available--it had been sold to a third party more than a year prior to the
protester's elimination from the competition--and the agency was not required to provide
the protester with additional time to find a new facility.
DECISION

Bannum, Inc., of Odessa, Florida, protests the rejection of its proposal under request for
proposals (RFP) No. RFP-200-1256-CS, issued by the Federal Bureau of Prisons for
residential community corrections center services in the vicinity of Benton Harbor or
Kalamazoo, Michigan. Although the property the protester proposed to perform the
contract had been sold to a third party, the protester argues that agency should have
provided the protester with additional time to find a new site location since it was the
agency's delay in making an award which resulted in the protester losing the right to use
the property.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The RFP, issued on September 24, 2014, contemplated the award of an indefinite-
delivery, indefinite-quantity contract based on fixed prices for a base year and four
1-year option periods for residential reentry center (RRC) services and home
