DIGEST

Protest of the scope of an agency's corrective action is dismissed as premature where
the protest is essentially a challenge to the technical evaluation that the agency
conducted as part of the corrective action, and was filed prior to the protester receiving
a required debriefing.
DECISION

corrective action taken by the Department of the Army, Missile Defense Agency (MDA),

corrective action, now completed, failed to adequately remedy the issues raised in
Kord's prior protest.
We dismiss the protest because we conclude it is, in essence, a premature challenge to
the technical evaluation the agency conducted as part of its corrective action.

September 10, 2018, seeking management and engineering services for the MDA's
