Tran, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the adequacy of discussions and limitation of initial proposal revisions in connection with the agency’s ongoing source selection process is dismissed as premature. DECISION
Systems Implementers, Inc., a small business of Clearfield, Utah, protests the Department of the Air Force’s implementation of corrective action taken in response to a prior protest filed in connection with request for proposals (RFP) No. FA8201-20-R-0005, issued by the agency to obtain enterprise information technology (IT) services. As part of its corrective action, the agency reopened discussions with offerors. The protester argues that the agency is conducting discussions in a misleading and not meaningful manner.
