B-403638.3 1 (2011-02-22)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadbrr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: JiL AL A , GA O Comptroller General Acc untabiity * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: Waterfront Technologies, Inc. File: B-403638.3 Date: February 22, 2011 Janice H. Kaufmann for the protester. Peter J. Dickson, Esq., Department of Labor, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where initial protest at GAO is dismissed because third party files protest at U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC), re-filing of protest at GAO 37 days after conclusion of COFC litigation is untimely; monitoring proceedings at COFC through a commercial website that was not regularly updated instead of using the official COFC website (PACER), which provides real-time updates for all filings, does not satisfy the requirement for protesters to utilize the most expeditious information- gathering approach under the circumstances. DECISION Waterfront Technologies, Inc. (WTI), of Baltimore, Maryland, protests the Department of Labor's (DOL) award of a contract to Astor & Sanders Corporation (ASC), of Rockville, Maryland, under request for proposals (RFP) No. DOL110RP20850, for information technology (IT) services. WTI challenges the evaluation of proposals. The RFP contemplated the award on a best value basis of an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, for a base year with 4 option years, to integrate IT services in support of DOL's Office of Performance and Technology (PROTECH). Twenty offerors (including ASC and WTI) submitted proposals. Because WTI's proposal was rated unacceptable overall, it was not considered for award. Based on ASC's low price and good technical rating, the contracting officer awarded it a contract. After a debriefing, WTI filed a protest with our Office challenging the evaluation.
