           DIGEST

           Protest challenging the agency's corrective action, which involves the reevaluation
           of offerors' proposals, is dismissed as premature where the protester merely
           anticipates improper, prejudicial agency action.
           DECISION

           6-month option periods. The solicitation established three evaluation criteria--
           technical, past performance, and price--and stated that award was to be made on a
           lowest-price, technically-acceptable basis. The Army received and evaluated
           proposals from offerors, including SOSi and Six3 Intelligence Solutions, Inc., and
           ultimately selected the proposal submitted by Six3 for award.

           SOSi filed a protest with our Office challenging the propriety of the contract award to
