Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Curtin Maritime Corporation File: B-417175.2 Date: March 29, 2019 Marley Schroepfer, Esq., Curtin Maritime Corporation, for the protester. Ann Calabrese, Esq., Allison McDade, Esq., and Schuyler Lystad, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Elizabeth Witwer, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging that the domestic shipyard preference set forth in Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provision 252.247-7026 requires the agency to afford a preference to offerors that exclusively use domestic shipyards to perform overhaul, repair, and maintenance for qualifying vessels is denied where the plain language of the DFARS provision and its enabling legislation require only that an agency consider, as one of many evaluation factors, the extent to which an offeror has performed such work in domestic shipyards. DECISION Curtin Maritime Corporation, a small business concern of Long Beach, California, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. N32205-19-R-3300, issued by the Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command (MSC), for a U.S. flag tug vessel. The protester contends that the solicitation's evaluation criteria violate the domestic shipyard preference set forth in Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) provision 252.247-7026.1 We deny the protest. 1 No protective order was issued in this protest. A full version of the agency report was provided to our Office, while a redacted version of the report was furnished to the protester's counsel. In reaching our decision here, we have reviewed the entire unredacted record.
