DECISION Mission Analytics, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Falls Church, Virginia, protests additional corrective action taken by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) following our decision in Mission Analytics' earlier protest, Mission Analytics, LLC, B-423165, Jan. 28, 2025. In that decision, our Office denied Mission Analytics' first protest objecting to the proposed corrective action by the VA in response to agency-level protests filed by Mission Analytics regarding request for quotations (RFQ) No. 36C26224Q1803 for video display monitors. In this second protest, Mission Analytics contends that “[n]one of the corrective action[s] had ANY chance of providing relief to the protester.” Protest at 2. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The procurement at issue here was for 15 new commercial-grade monitors and compatible mounting brackets for installation at the VA's greater Los Angeles healthcare facilities in California. Contracting Officer's Statement (COS) at 1. The agency first issued the RFQ on September 5, 2024, as an SDVOSB set-aside, pursuant to the procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) parts 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services) and 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for NEC Display Solutions M861 or Equal video display monitors and mounting brackets. Mission Analytics, LLC, supra at 1. The agency made award to Aviate Enterprises, Inc. on September 19, and Mission Analytics filed an agency-level protest on September 24. Id. at 2. The VA stated it would take corrective action in response to Mission Analytics' agency-level protest by terminating the contract award to Aviate Enterprises and reviewing its requirements in order to proceed in a manner appropriate with that review. Id. The agency did not state that it intended to cancel the solicitation; nevertheless Mission Analytics filed a second agency-level protest, challenging the agency's “intent to cancel” rather than make an award to Mission Analytics. Id. The VA denied that protest, explaining that the agency had erroneously concluded that a waiver of the Small Business Administration's non-manufacturer rule (NMR) applied to the procurement and thus it should not have been set aside for SDVOSBs in the first place. Id. Mission Analytics then filed a protest with our Office. We denied the protest because we agreed that the solicitation was defective and concluded the protester had failed to demonstrate that the agency's corrective action was unreasonable. Id. at 5. Subsequently, Mission Analytics filed a request for reconsideration, which our Office denied because the protester did not demonstrate any error of fact or law that would have altered the outcome of the decision. Mission Analytics, LLC--Recon., B-423165.2, Apr. 15, 2025. We then dismissed a second request for reconsideration because that filing was legally insufficient and also failed to demonstrate an error of fact or law. Mission Analytics, LLC--Recon., B-423165.3, June 11, 2025 (unpublished decision). Meanwhile, the record shows that on November 12, 2024, the agency posted a request for information (RFI) to SAM.gov[1] seeking information regarding the fulfillment of the requirements of the RFQ that had resulted in termination of the contract awarded to Aviate Enterprises.
