handle is hein.gao/gaocrptafwb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Professional Rehabilitation Consultants, Inc. File: B-275871 Date: February 28, 1997 Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., and Dorn C. McGrath III, Esq., Holland & Knight, for the protester. Jeanne Anderson, Esq., and Phillipa L. Anderson, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Tania L. Calhoun, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Post-debriefing protest of contracting agency's evaluation of proposals is dismissed as untimely where protester failed to request its debriefing until 2 months after it was informed that it had not received award; a protester's affirmative obligation to diligently pursue information that forms the basis for its protest extends to the diligent pursuit of a debriefing, which must be requested within a reasonable period of time. DECISION Professional Rehabilitation Consultants, Inc. (PRC) protests the award of contracts to Professional Rehabilitation and Occupational Services & Associates (PROS) and to Gallagher and Associates under request for proposals No. 623-20-96, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for vocational rehabilitation services. PRC principally argues that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal. We dismiss the protest as untimely. The solicitation anticipated the award of multiple fixed-price contracts for the provision of vocational rehabilitation services to veterans in the state of Oklahoma. Two line items under the base year and under each option year sought counseling services in connection with the training and rehabilitation of veterans with service- connected disabilities. Contracts would be awarded to those firms whose offers were evaluated as being most advantageous to the government. VA's evaluation of the proposals it received resulted in awards to PROS and Gallagher for the line items at issue here. 1132228
