Highlights

A firm requested reconsideration of its protest against the award of a Navy contract. The protester contended that the prior decision failed to consider the solicitation specification concerning the amount of work to be subcontracted out under the contract and that the awardee underpriced its items. GAO believed that the protester misread the intent of the solicitation. It believed that if the awardee performed 50 percent of the contract, that would have to be considered a significant portion of the work and, therefore, acceptable under the terms of the solicitation. Further, GAO believed that the protester missed a basic premise of the prior decision. There was no showing that the awardee grossly underpriced any item; and the Navy, following its price analysis, concluded that the awardee's prices were realistic. Accordingly, the prior decision was affirmed.
