handle is hein.gao/gaobadaeo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I G A 0Comptroller General WAN Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: AdaRose Inc.--Protest and Costs File: B-299091.2 Date: January 14, 2008 George Holt for the protester. Vera Meza, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preperation of this decision. DIGEST 1. Protest seeking reinstatement of an earlier protest because, in the protester's view, the agency has unduly delayed taking the corrective action promised in response to the earlier protest is dismissed since any dispute about the selection decision that was the subject of the earlier protest has been rendered academic because that selection decision has been set aside by the agency as part of the corrective action. 2. Recommendation that protester be reimbursed the costs of filing an initial protest challenging the agency's evaluation of its proposal and the costs of filing a subsequent protest challenging the agency's delay in implementing the proposed corrective action that was the basis of the dismissal of the earlier protest is not warranted where the agency has not unduly delayed implementation of the proposed corrective action. DECISION AdaRose Inc. requests that our Office reinstate and sustain its earlier protest of a decision by the Department of the Army Joint Armaments Contracting Center not to award AdaRose a contract under request for proposals (RFP) No. W15QKN-05-R- 0229, for armaments software engineering center support. We dismissed that protest as academic based on the agency's stated intention, after review of the protest, to set aside the source selection decision and take further corrective action consisting of amending the solicitation, soliciting revised proposals, and revaluating those proposals. In addition, AdaRose requests that our Office recommend that the agency reimburse AdaRose for losses allegedly suffered as a result of the agency's unduly prolonging the implementation of corrective action, and for other reasons.
