Award of Bridge Contract Does Not Mean Protest Allegations Were Correct; GAO B-411810.4, BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc.—Reconsideration

Protester’s request for reconsideration of a prior decision is denied, where the contracting officer was not required to automatically bar the awardee from competition based on an alleged OCI without consideration of the facts, and where a bridge contract awarded to the protester to temporarily extend its services as the incumbent contractor did not validate its rejected arguments about the agency’s evaluation of the awardee’s technical proposal.
