Matter of:   AlliantCorps, LLC

File:        B-415744.2

Date:        April 4, 2018

R. Montana Erickson, Esq., and Michael L. Torres, Esq., Department of the Navy, for
the agency.
Stephanie B. Magnell, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,

DIGEST

1. Protest alleging a violation of the Procurement Integrity Act is dismissed, where the
protest fails to describe a sufficient factual basis for the alleged violation.

2. Protest that the agency should consider certain past performance despite the terms
of the solicitation is an untimely challenge to the terms of the solicitation; similarly,
entering into discussions with offerors does not preempt the solicitation terms.
