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: Cooper/Ports America, LLC File: B-419000.2 Date: January 15, 2021 Brian Johnson, Esq., Barron Avery, Esq., and Laura Gronauer, Esq., Baker & Hostetler LLP, for the protester. Nicole Giles, Esq., Lindy Bathurst, Esq., Tracye W. Howard, Esq., and Brian Walsh, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for James J. Flanagan Shipping Corporation, the intervenor. Alexis J. Bernstein, Esq., Captain Seiji Ohashi, and Josephine Farinelli, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Christopher Alwood, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging an agency's proposed corrective action as inadequate for failing to make a new technical evaluation is dismissed as premature where the protester merely anticipates improper, prejudicial agency action. 2. Protest objecting to an agency's failure to replace the contracting officer for the remainder of the procurement is denied where the protester has failed to present convincing evidence that agency officials acted in bad faith. DECISION Cooper/Ports America, LLC (Cooper/Ports) of Houston, Texas, protests the corrective action taken by the United States Transportation Command under request for proposals (RFP) No. HTC711-20-R-R002, for stevedoring and related terminal services at the Port of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and the Port of Corpus Christi in Texas. Cooper/Ports contends that the corrective action is unreasonable because it fails to provide a meaningful remedy to concerns raised in the protester's prior protest. We deny the protest.
