DIGEST

Agency  decision to limit corrective action is unobjectionable where the corrective action
is adequate to remedy the procurement improprieties at issue.
DECISION

Cellebrite, Inc., of Parsippany, New Jersey, protests the actions of the Department of
Homeland  Security (DHS), United States Secret Service (USSS), in its implementation
of corrective action in response to Cellebrite's prior protest with our Office. Cellebrite's
prior protest challenged the award of a contract to KACE Company, LLC, of Ashburn,
Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 70US0921 R70090039, for instructional
services for the USSS. Cellebrite alleges that the limitations imposed on the scope of
the final proposal revisions (FPRs) as part of the agency's corrective action are
unreasonable  and reflect an unfair agency bias in favor of KACE.

We  deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

The RFP,  issued on July 6, 2021, for instructional services contemplated the award of a
fixed-price, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. Agency Report (AR),
