Highlights
Protection Strategies, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business of Knoxville, Tennessee, requests that we recommend the firm be reimbursed its reasonable costs of pursuing its protest. Protection Strategies challenged the issuance of a task order to Armada Ltd., by the Department of Justice (DOJ) under request for quotations (RFQ) No. 15JPSS20Q00000014, which was issued for various security services. The protester alleged that the agency engaged in unequal discussions, improperly evaluated the awardee s quotation, relied on a flawed independent government cost estimate (IGCE), failed to perform a required price realism analysis, and made award based on an erroneous best-value tradeoff decision. After our Office advised the parties that GAO would likely sustain the protest during an outcome prediction alternate dispute resolution (ADR) conference, DOJ indicated that it would take corrective action and we dismissed the protest as academic.
