Matter of: ICI Services Corporation

File:        B-418255.4

Date:       September 23, 2020

Shomari B. Wade, Esq., Michael J. Gardner, Esq., Timothy J. Jessell, Esq., Danielle K.
Muenzfeld, Esq., and Brett A. Castellat, Esq., Greenberg Traurig, LLP, for the protester.
Daniel R. Forman, Esq., Mark A. Ries, Esq., and James G. Peyster, Esq., Crowell &

ICI Services Corporation, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, protests the agency's planned
corrective action under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00164-19-R-3502, issued by

of McLean, Virginia, among those offerors in the competitive range and with whom
discussions are held is improper.

We dismiss the protest.

seeks program management and acquisition support, engineering and technical
