Highlights
A firm claimed reimbursement for its protest costs pursuant to its protest against the Navy's rejection of its bid as nonresponsive for furnishing and installing a radio fire alarm system. GAO held that the: (1) Navy took prompt corrective action in response to the protester's protest; (2) Navy improperly determined that the protester's bid was nonresponsive; and (3) protester did not show that it expended unnecessary time and resources to pursue its protest. Accordingly, the request for protest costs was denied.
