DIGEST

Protest challenging agency's proposed corrective action is sustained where record
shows agency  intends to materially change its method for evaluating proposals without
amending  solicitation and affording competing firms an opportunity to submit revised
quotations.
DECISION

Computer World Services Corporation (CWS), of Washington, D.C., protests the actions
of the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard, taken in
connection with request for quotations (RFQ) No. 70ZO7919QPNZ00200, issued to
acquire centralized service desk information technology support services. CWS argues
that certain proposed corrective action taken in response to an earlier protest is
improper.

We  sustain the protest in part, and dismiss it in part.

BACKGROUND

CWS  filed an earlier protest with our Office challenging the agency's issuance of a task
order to another concern, Intellect Solutions, LLC, maintaining that the agency had
misevaluated quotations submitted in response to the RFQ and made an unreasonable
source selection decision. Computer World Services Corporation, B-418287,
B-418287.2, Feb. 26, 2020, 2020 CPD T _. We sustained CWS's prior protest.
