handle is hein.gao/gaobadtlf0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAOU.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Western Star Hospital Authority, Inc. File: B-414198.2; B-414198.3 Date: June 7, 2017 Johnathan M. Bailey, Esq., Bailey & Bailey, PC, for the protester. George P. Farley, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Pedro E. Briones, Esq., and Peter H. Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of the award of a short-term contract on a sole-source basis pending implementation of corrective action is dismissed as untimely where the protest was filed more than 10 days after the protester learned of the award. 2. Protest of the agency's elimination of the protester's proposal from award consideration is denied where the protester expressly refused to extend its proposal acceptance period as requested and the proposal could not be revived because it would compromise the integrity of the competitive bidding system. DECISION Western Star Hospital Authority, Inc. (WSHA), of Atlanta, Georgia, protests various actions taken by the Department of the Army under request for proposals (RFP) No. W15QKN-17-R-1002 for emergency medical technician (EMT) services. WSHA challenges the Army's sole-source award of a 5-month interim contract for the required services, pending implementation of corrective action in response to a previous protest by WSHA. WSHA contends that the award reflects a lack of planning and failure to implement corrective action promptly. WSHA also challenges the subsequent rejection of its proposal, arguing that the Army unreasonably determined that WSHA refused to extend the acceptance period and revive its expired proposal as requested by the agency. We dismiss the protests in part and deny them in part.
