handle is hein.gao/gaolho0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1O o U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE A Century of Non-Partisan Fact-Based Work 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: RELYANT Global, LLC File: B-418693.7 Date: April 9, 2021 James Price, Esq., Lacy, Price & Wagner, P.C., for the protester. Tristan Brown, Esq., Shannon McCurdy, Esq., Brynn Morgan, Esq., and Rebecca Elliott, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Christopher Alwood, Esq., John Sorrenti, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where protest challenging an agency's decision to amend, rather than cancel, a solicitation is filed by an offeror that submitted a proposal under the original solicitation and was permitted to submit a revised proposal in response to the amendment, protester is not the appropriate party to raise such an issue on behalf of other potential offerors. 2. Where an offeror was not prevented from competing under amended solicitation by the terms of the amendment, but represents that its particular circumstances made it uncompetitive under the amended solicitation's terms, agency is not required to equalize the protester's competitive position. 3. Protest that amendments issued by the agency failed to describe the changes made to the solicitation in violation of Federal Acquisition Regulation section 15.206(g)(5) is denied where the record shows that the amendments described the changes. DECISION Relyant Global, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business of Maryville, Tennessee, protests the decision of the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers (Corps) to amend, rather than cancel and revise, request for proposals (RFP) No. W912EK18R0022, issued by the Corps for debris management services. Relyant contends that the changes the agency made to the RFP after taking corrective action in response to a prior protest are so substantial that the agency is required to cancel the solicitation; and that the agency failed to properly describe the changes made in six amendments to the solicitation.
