Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Adams and Associates, Inc. File: B-417120; B-417125 Date: January 16, 2019 G. Lindsay Simmons, Esq., and Hopewell H. Darneille III, Esq., Jackson Kelly PLLC, for the protester. Alex P. Hontos, Esq., Daniel Falknor, Esq., and Phil Steger, Esq., Dorsey & Whitney LLP, for Management & Training Corporation, the intervenor. Dennis A. Adelson, Esq., and Jose Otero, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Post-award protests alleging that all procuring agency headquarters procurement personnel are biased and incapable of reasonably evaluating the protester's proposals are dismissed as untimely where the protester was aware of the underlying facts giving rise to its bias and retaliation allegations prior to the closing dates for the receipt of proposals, and failed to timely challenge the issue prior to proposal submission. 2. Remaining protest allegations are dismissed where the agency has proposed adequate corrective action, including the reevaluation of proposals and issuance of new selection decisions, that will render the protests academic. DECISION Adams and Associates, Inc., of Reno, Nevada, protests the award of contracts to Management & Training Corporation, of Centerville, Utah, under request for proposals Nos. 1630J5-17-R-00003 and 1630J2-18-R-00004, which were issued by the Department of Labor (DOL), for the operation of the Atterbury Job Corps Center in Edinburgh, Indiana, and the Earle C. Clements Job Corps Center in Morganfield, Kentucky. Adams primarily alleges that the agency is biased and retaliating against the company, as well as challenges the agency's evaluation of proposals, and its resulting source selection decisions. We dismiss the protests.
