DIGEST
Protest challenging the agency's corrective action is denied where the record shows
that the agency's decision to reopen discussions and seek revised proposals as part of
its corrective action was reasonable and within the agency's broad discretion in this
area.
DECISION
AB International Services, LLC (ABIS), of Vienna, Virginia, protests the corrective action
taken by the Department of the Air Force in response to a prior protest with our Office
under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA2263-20-R-0002, for metrology and technical
writing services in support of the Air Force Metrology and Calibration (AFMETCAL)1
program. Agency Report (AR), Tab 3, RFP at 3-46; AR, Tab 4, Performance Work
Statement (PWS) at 2. The protester contends that the agency has unreasonably
allowed offerors to revise their entire proposals as part of the agency's corrective action.
We deny the protest.
