Protester Lacks Standing to Argue Agency Failed to Share Q&A Responses to Other Offerors; COFC 17-277C, Cleveland Assets LLC v. United States

Protest challenging the agency’s request for lease proposals is denied, where the protester lacked standing to challenge agency communications that were not shared with other offerors, because it could not demonstrate competitive prejudice; where the protester also lacked standing to challenge the solicitation based on requirements not included in the lease prospectus approved by Congress, because the statute requiring congressional notification and approval of the lease does not provide a basis for protest; and where the agency’s methodology for determining the maximum annual rental rate was reasonable and within its discretion, and no funds were appropriated for a higher rental rate.
