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 version has been approved for public release.----------------------------- Matter of: Monterey Consultants, Inc. File: B-414761.6 Date: March 27, 2018 Thomas P. McLish, Esq., and Joseph W. Whitehead, Esq., Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, for the protester. Neil S. Deol, Esq., and Donald C. Mobly, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Michael Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Request for recommendation that agency reimburse costs of two sequential protests because agency failed to address issues alleged in first protest is denied where the agency promptly proposed corrective action in response to the second protest and the protest grounds in common between the first and second protest were not clearly meritorious. DECISION Monterey Consultants, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business of Dayton, Ohio, requests that our Office recommend that it be reimbursed the costs of filing and pursuing two protests of the award of a contract to Associated Veterans, LLC- Quality Solutions (AVQS), a service-disabled veteran-owned small business of Arlington, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. VA245-17-Q-0076 issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for advisory and assistance services in support of supply chain transformation. The protester alleges that the agency unduly delayed taking corrective action in response to a clearly meritorious protest because the agency's corrective action taken in response to Monterey's first protest did not effectively resolve its protest issues, forcing it to protest the procurement a second time on the same grounds. We deny the request.
