[Protest of Air Force IFB Alleging Workload Data Inaccuracies]
Highlights
A firm protested an Air Force invitation for bids (IFB) for the provision of word processing services, contending that the Air Force failed to use the best available information in structuring the IFB. In addition, since its contract to perform these services had been terminated for the convenience of the government, the protester contended that it was prejudiced in the recompetition because its high bid was the result of prior experience. GAO found that the protester's assertion that the IFB was vague and ambiguous was not persuasive and it found no basis to conclude that the IFB specifications prejudiced the protester. Absent evidence of prejudice, GAO found no basis to question the procurement. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
