GAO Recommends Costs Where Agency Acknowledges Errors But Delayed Corrective Action Until After Submission of Agency Report; GAO B-411994.4, Social Solutions International Inc.—Costs

Protester’s request that GAO recommend reimbursement of its protest costs is granted in part, where the protester’s allegation that the agency did not use offerors’ proposed ceiling indirect cost rates during its cost evaluation and cost realism analysis, as required by the solicitation, and its allegation of disparate treatment were clearly meritorious, and where the agency waited until after submitting its response to the protest to take corrective action; and denied in part, where the other protest grounds were not clearly meritorious and are readily severable.
