Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Amentum Services, Inc. File: B-422719; B-422719.2 Date: September 20, 2024 Anuj Vohra, Esq., and Issac D. Schabes, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for the protester. Kathleen D. Martin, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Nathaniel S. Canfield, Esq., and Evan D. Wesser, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest alleging that the agency unreasonably excluded the protester's proposal from a task order competition for failure to submit Iraq business licenses for two subcontractors is denied where the agency reasonably concluded from the information provided in the proposal that one subcontractor would be performing services in Iraq and therefore that the protester was required to submit an Iraq business license for that subcontractor, and the protester consequently cannot demonstrate competitive prejudice with respect to the second subcontractor. 2. Protest that the agency improperly failed to amend the solicitation to remove a local national hiring requirement is denied where the agency states that it will continue to include the requirement because it is mandated by local law and the protester has not demonstrated that there has been a change in that law. DECISION Amentum Services, Inc., of Chantilly, Virginia, protests the exclusion of its proposal from competition under task order request for proposals (TORFP) No. 19QMM-24-R-01 54, issued by the Department of State for support services in Iraq. The protester contends that the agency unreasonably eliminated its proposal from the competition for failure to include Iraq business licenses for two proposed subcontractors, and further that the agency's requirements have changed in such a manner as to require amending the TORFP and permitting the protester to submit a revised proposal. We deny the protest.
