Decision


Matter of: GSE, Inc.

File:       B-415135

Date:       September 22, 2017

Gregory Stevenson, GSE, Inc., for the protester.
Jonathan A. Hardage, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency.
Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Where solicitation is issued under a broad agency announcement (BAA), protest
challenging the terms of the solicitation is untimely where protest is submitted after the
closing date for submission of proposals.

2. Protester's challenge to the agency's evaluation of protester's proposal is untimely
where protest is filed more than 10 days after protester was advised of its alleged basis
for protest.

3. Protester's wide-ranging speculation regarding the Army's future actions fails to state
valid bases for protest, and this Office does not conduct investigations as part of our bid
protest function.

actions pursuant to broad agency announcement (BAA) Call No. W91 1W6-17-R-0007

solicit specific white papers or proposals via future Special Notices which will be
published on Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps)... and will be referred to as
