DIGEST

Protest challenging agency's implementation of corrective action taken in response to
GAO recommendation in prior sustained protest is dismissed where protester fails to
state a valid basis of protest.
DECISION

IT Objects, LLC (ITO), a small business of Herndon, Virginia, protests the corrective
action that the Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) is taking in response to our recommendation in IT Obiects, LLC,
B-418012.1, B-418012.2, Jan. 2, 2020, 2020 CPD  2. In that decision, we sustained
ITO's protest of the award of a contract to Ahtna RDI, JV, LLC (ARJV), a small business
located in Anchorage, Alaska, under request for proposals (RFP)
No. 1305M319RNFFS0008 for information technology services including software
development and systems administration, for the Alaska Region of the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS).

After finding that NOAA's evaluation of the awardee's technical proposal was
unreasonable, we recommended that the agency reevaluate the awardee's technical
proposal and prepare a new source selection decision, or take other such action
permitted by the applicable statutes and regulations. The agency responded to our
recommendation by reevaluating the awardee's proposal and deciding to conduct
discussions with offerors and request final proposal revisions. The protester contends
that these actions are inconsistent with our recommendation and thus are improper.
