Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Lion Vallen, Inc. File: B-418503; B-418503.2 Date: May 29, 2020 Francis E. Purcell, Jr., Esq., and Joseph R. Berger, Esq., Thompson Hine LLP, for the protester. Ellen Brandau Clark, Esq., and Robert J. Drone, Esq., United States Marine Corps, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging the agency's response to prior disclosures of the protester's proprietary information is denied where the agency reasonably amended the solicitation to mitigate the competitive harm to the protester. 2. Protest that the agency did not adequately investigate a potential Procurement Integrity Act violation is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that no violation occurred because there was not a knowing disclosure of information by the agency. 3. Protest that a solicitation fails to address an organizational conflict of interest is denied where the agency reasonably addressed the potential conflict. DECISION Lion Vallen, Inc. (LVI), of Dayton, Ohio, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. M67004-20-R-0012, which was issued by the United States Marine Corps for operational management and equipment readiness support services. LVI argues that the Marine Corps improperly disclosed its proprietary information and that the current RFP does not adequately mitigate the competitive disadvantage to the protester stemming from the disclosures. The protester also argues that the agency failed to conduct a reasonable investigation of whether the disclosure violated the procurement integrity provisions of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, 41 U.S.C.
