CFC Sustains Corrective Action Protest Where Solicitation Amendment Favored Original Awardee
Client Alert | 1 min read | 11.28.16
In Prof’l. Serv. Indus. Inc. v.

The court found that the agency’s decision to amend the solicitation was arbitrary and capricious because the agency changed the required qualifications for the program manager—in a manner that conformed to the original awardee’s proposal—rather than conducting a re-evaluation of the proposals under the un-amended solicitation’s criteria.
