Failure to Meet Incumbent Contract’s OCI Obligations Blocks Protester from Competing for Follow-On; COFC No. 17-835C, A Squared Joint Venture v. United States

Request for a temporary restraining order preventing the agency from making an award decision pending the outcome of the plaintiff’s protest is denied, where the agency reasonably eliminated the plaintiff’s proposal from consideration for award due to a potential unequal access to information OCI, and where the plaintiff was aware of its OCI obligations under the incumbent contract, yet failed to fulfill them, and therefore the underlying challenge is unlikely to succeed on its merits.
