DIGEST
Request for reconsideration of prior decision is denied where the requesting party fails
to demonstrate that our decision contains errors of fact or law, and fails to present new
information not previously considered that would warrant reversal or modification of our
prior decision.
DECISION
A P Ventures, LLC (APV), of Columbia, Maryland, asks that we reconsider our decision
in Insight Tech. Sols., Inc., B-420133.2 et al., Dec. 20, 2021, 2021 CPD ¶ 13. In that
decision, we sustained Insight's protest challenging the issuance of a task order to APV
pursuant to fair opportunity proposal request (FOPR) No. 70CTD021 R00000002. The
FOPR was issued by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, for information technology (IT) support services for the agency's
student and exchange visitor program (SEVP). APV argues that our decision was
based on factual and legal errors, and asserts that new information warrants reversal of
the decision.
We deny the request for reconsideration.
