Request for Costs Granted Where Agency Delayed Corrective Action Despite Clear Evidence of Disparate Treatment; GAO B-412914.2, KWR Construction Inc.—Costs

Request that GAO recommend the reimbursement of the costs of filing and pursuing a protest is granted, where the agency engaged in unequal treatment of offerors by waiving a solicitation requirement for the awardee but not for the protester, and where the agency did not take corrective action immediately after it became apparent this protest allegation was meritorious.
