Protester Obtained Declaratory Relief But Was Not Prevailing Party for Purposes of EAJA Fee Award; A Squared Joint Venture v. United States, COFC NO. 17-835C

Protester’s motion for bid preparation and proposal costs and for attorney fees under the Equal Access to Justice Act is denied.  The court found that the protester was not entitled to bid preparation and proposal costs because there was no causal connection between the agency’s erroneous procurement decision and the protester's inability to obtain award.
