Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Cooperativa Muratori Riuniti File: B-294980.5 Date: July 27, 2005 Reed L. von Maur, Esq., for the protester. Susan L. Schor, Esq., and Laurence Schor, Esq., McManus, Schor, Asmar & Darden, LLP, for Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.A., an intervenor. Damon Martin, Esq., Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency did not act improperly by revising request for proposals and soliciting revised proposals prior to conducting reevaluation that Government Accountability Office recommended as corrective action in sustaining prior protest where solicitation revisions were reasonably based and offerors were given the opportunity to revise their proposals in response to them. 2. Where agency amends request for proposals after closing and permits offerors to submit revised proposals, it should permit offerors to revise aspects of their proposals that were not the subject of the amendment absent evidence that the amendment could not reasonably have any effect on other aspects of proposals, or that allowing such revisions would have a detrimental impact on the competitive process. DECISION Cooperativa Muratori Riuniti (CMR) protests the Department of the Navy's revision of request for proposals (RFP) No. N33191-04-R-4004, for construction of two facilities at Aviano Air Force Base in Italy. The agency revised the solicitation after we sustained a prior CMR protest objecting to award under the RFP to Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.A. Cooperativa Muratori Riuniti, B-294980, B-294980.2, Jan. 21, 2005, 2005 CPD 21. CMR argues that the agency's revisions to the RFP are restrictive of competition and contrary to the corrective action that we recommended in our earlier decision. The protester also objects to the agency decision not to permit it to revise its schedule in its revised proposal.
