was taken in response to an earlier protest, is dismissed as premature where the
protester merely anticipates improper prejudicial agency action.

Peraton Inc., of Herndon, Virginia, protests the scope and conduct of corrective action
taken by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Federal Acquisition Service,
