handle is hein.gao/gaooba0001 and id is 1 raw text is: U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. 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: Meridian Knowledge Solutions, LLC File: B-420808.3 Date: December 5, 2022 Lucas T. Hanback, Esq., Rogers Joseph O'Donnell, PC, for the requester. James Muetzel, Esq., Office of Personnel Management, for the agency. Uri R. Yoo, Esq., and Christina Sklarew, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Request that GAO recommend reimbursement of protest costs is denied where the agency did not unduly delay taking corrective action in the face of a clearly meritorious protest. 2. Request that GAO recommend reimbursement of protest costs is denied where the protest issue was untimely raised; a prerequisite to the recovery of protest costs related to agency corrective action is a timely filed protest allegation. DECISION Meridian Knowledge Solutions, LLC, of Arlington, Virginia, requests that our Office recommend that it be reimbursed the reasonable costs of filing and pursuing its protest challenging the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. 24322622R0003, issued by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for learning system licenses or software subscriptions to support OPM's USALearning program. The requester contends that the agency failed to take prompt corrective action in response to clearly meritorious protest grounds. Although OPM agrees to reimburse the requester for the costs related to several of Meridian's initial and supplemental protest grounds, it does not agree to reimburse Meridian for the cost of pursuing an issue on which the agency took prompt corrective action and an issue that was not timely raised. We deny the request.
