handle is hein.gao/gaooiv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: TRAX International Corporation File: B-420361.6 Date: March 9, 2023 Daniel P. Graham, Esq., and Tara L. Ward, Esq., McDermott Will & Emery LLP, for the protester. J. Hunter Bennett, Esq., Evan R. Sherwood, Esq., Chanda Brown, Esq., and Paul Rowley, Esq., Covington & Burling LLP, for Engineering Research and Consulting, Inc., the intervenor. Captain Paula F. Barr, Department of the Army, for the agency. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the awardee violated the procurement integrity provisions of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, 41 U.S.C. §§ 2101-07, is dismissed as legally and factually insufficient where the protester's allegations, even if unrebutted, fail to establish a violation of law by the agency. DECISION TRAX International Corporation, of Las Vegas, Nevada, protests the award of a contract to Engineering Research and Consulting, Inc. (ERC), of Huntsville, Alabama, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91 CRB-21 -R-001 6, for Aberdeen Test Support Services (ATSS) at the Aberdeen Test Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. TRAX contends that the Army failed to conduct a reasonable investigation of ERC's alleged violation of the integrity provisions of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act, 41 U.S.C. §§ 2101-07 (hereinafter, the Procurement Integrity Act, PIA, or the Act), despite evidence that ERC personnel, who would be expected to be involved in competitive decision making for ERC in this procurement, had improper access to TRAX's bid or proposal information. We dismiss the protest.
