DIGEST Protest arguing that, as part of corrective action, competitor should be precluded from further participation in an acquisition based on a misrepresentation in an earlier version of its proposal is denied, where agency investigated the entirety of the circumstances and determined that permitting the firm to continue participating in the acquisition was the appropriate course of action; agencies are afforded considerable discretion in determining what corrective action is appropriate to remedy a flaw in the agency's procurement process. DECISION CSRA, LLC, of Falls Church, Virginia, protests certain actions taken by the Department of State in connection with request for proposals (RFP) No. 19AQMM20R0032, issued to acquire cybersecurity support services for the agency's directorate of cyber and technology security. CSRA alleges that another competitor for the requirement, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, of McLean, Virginia, should be excluded from the competition because, according to CSRA, Northrop Grumman engaged in certain actions that merit its exclusion, and also because Northrop Grumman has a an organizational conflict of interest (OCI) that cannot be mitigated. We deny the protest, in part, and dismiss it, in part.
