handle is hein.gao/gaobadzfi0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G r~oU.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Government Contracting Services, LLC File: B-416696.2 Date: May 6, 2019 Kevin Ingley, for the protester. Brian C. Habib, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., April Y. Shields, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest is dismissed as academic where the agency takes corrective action to determine if a sole-source procurement is appropriate after the record shows that the agency knew, prior to the closing date for proposals, that only one source was qualified to meet the solicitation's certification requirements. DECISION Government Contracting Services, LLC (GCS), of Tacoma, Washington, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. W9115118R0038, issued by the Department of the Army for maintenance of electronic security systems at Fort Hood, Texas. Among other things, GCS protests that the solicitation is overly restrictive in that it requires use of an intrusion detection system manufactured by Monitor Dynamics (MD); that an offeror must be certified by MD; and that one of the potential offerors is an affiliate of MD.' We dismiss the protest based on the agency's pending corrective action. 1 This protest is not subject to a GAO protective order because GCS opted to proceed pro se. Accordingly, our discussion of some aspects of the record is necessarily general in order to limit references to non-public information. Nonetheless, GAO reviewed the entire record in camera in preparing our decision.
