handle is hein.gao/gaomeb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1 U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE G A O A Century of Non-Partisan Fact-Based Work 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Saalex Solutions, Inc. File: B-418729.3 Date: July 23, 2021 William M. Pannier, Esq., Pannier Law, PC, for the protester. John E. McCarthy Jr., Esq., and William B. O'Reilly, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for TeleSolv Consulting, Inc., the intervenor. Christopher Lybeck, Esq., Trent Bowen, Esq., and Robert Jusko, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency failed to assign additional strengths to the protester's proposal under the management and staffing approach factor is dismissed as untimely where the protester failed to challenge the agency's assessment of strengths within 10 days after receiving documentation of its evaluation during an earlier debriefing, and the record reflects that the agency's subsequent decision to reevaluate proposals in response to a different offeror's protest did not affect the assessment of the strengths at issue in the protester's proposal or the proposal features on which the strengths were based. Under these circumstances, the decision to reevaluate proposals also did not revive the protester's ability to file a timely protest challenging conclusions first reached during the earlier evaluation, which this company did not protest. 2. Protest challenging evaluation of awardee's proposal is dismissed where protester's allegations, which are based on speculation, do not establish a valid basis of protest and are legally insufficient. DECISION Saalex Solutions, Inc., a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) of Camarillo, California, protests the issuance of a task order to TeleSolv Consulting, Inc., an SDVOSB of Washington, District of Columbia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N0025319R3501, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, for business and administrative support services. The protester challenges various aspects of the agency's evaluation of the protester's and awardee's technical proposals.
