The Bid Protest Debrief
In Metro East Joint Venture, LLC, B-424392 (April 21, 2026), Metro East Joint Venture LLC (Metro) protested the issuance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of a sole-source contract modification to incumbent Chenega Global Protection LLC (Chenega) for guard services at the CDC’s Atlanta and Fort Collins campuses. Metro argued that the sole-source extension was contrary to law and regulation, that the agency failed to address conflicts of interest, and that the CDC had unduly delayed implementing the corrective action it promised in response to Metro’s earlier protest.
