         DIGEST

         Agency reasonably decided to take corrective action in response to a previous
         protest, where the contracting officer identified flaws in the evaluation of proposals
         that warranted reevaluation of proposals, discussions, and revised proposals.
         DECISION

         Bannum Inc., of Odessa, Florida, protests the corrective action being taken by the
         Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), under request for
         proposals (RFP) No. RFP-200-1244-WS, for residential re-entry center and home
         confinement services. Bannum argues that the corrective action is unwarranted or,
         in the alternative, that the BOP failed to properly limit the scope of the corrective
         action.

         We deny the protest.

         year with four option years. The RFP advised offerors that [c]ontract performance
