[Request for Reimbursement for Lost Profits Under Air Force IFB for Carpet Removal and Installation]

A firm claimed reimbursement for lost profits pursuant to its successful protest against an Air Force solicitation for carpet removal and installation. GAO noted that the Air Force wrongfully denied the protester a contract award and reimbursed it for its protest costs. However, GAO held that the Air Force was not required to reimburse the protester for lost profits. Accordingly, the claim was denied.
