         Matter of:   Bannum, Inc.

         File:        B-408838

         Date:        December 11, 2013

         Nancy M. Camardo, Esq., Joseph A. Camardo, Jr., Esq., and Justin T. Huffman,
         Esq., Camardo Law Firm, PC, for the protester.
         Alex D. Tomaszczuk, Esq., and Daniel S. Herzfeld, Esq., Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw
         Pittman LLP, for Dismas Charities, Inc., an intervenor.
         William D. Robinson, Esq., and Seth Bogin, Esq., Department of Justice, for the
         agency.
         Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Agency's unilateral decision to extend start date for operational facility is
         unobjectionable where awardee proposed and was prepared to meet original start
         date and incumbent protester was not prejudiced.

         2. Protest challenging affirmative determination of responsibility is dismissed where
         the assertions on which protest is based do not constitute the type of allegation that
         triggers Government Accountability Office (GAO) review of affirmative responsibility
         determinations under GAO's Bid Protest Regulations.

         3. Protest that awardee misrepresented its ownership and address of proposed
         property is dismissed as untimely where protester failed to diligently pursue
         information giving rise to this protest ground.
         DECISION

         Bannum, Inc., of Odessa, Florida, protests the Department of Justice, Federal
         Bureau of Prisons' award of a contract to Dismas Charities, Inc., of Louisville,
         Kentucky, under request for proposals (RFP) No. 200-1168-SE, for residential
         reentry center (RRC) services in Tupelo, Mississippi. Bannum challenges the
         source selection decision.
