Matter of: Inchcape Shipping Services Holding, Ltd. File: B-403399.3; B-403399.4 Date: February 6, 2012 Craig A. Holman, Esq., Kara L. Daniels, Esq., and Lauren J. Schlanger, Esq., Arnold & Porter LLP, for the protester. Walter A.l. Wilson, Esq., Claude P. Goddard, Jr., Esq., Daniel J. Donohue, Esq., and Sarah M.

Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Agency was not required to provide for the submission of revised proposals due to the fact that approximately one year had elapsed between the submission of proposals and contract award. 2. Protest that awardee's prices were impermissibly unbalanced is denied where record fails to establish that awardee's unit prices were overstated or understated. DECISION Inchcape Shipping Services Holding, Ltd. (ISS), of Essex, Great Britain, protests the award of a contract to Multinational Logistic Services, Ltd. (MLS), of St. Julians, Malta, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N68171-1 0-R-0004, issued by the Department of the Navy, Fleet Industrial Supply Center Sigonella for maritime husbanding support in the United States Africa Command area of responsibility. The protester argues that the agency unreasonably failed to give offerors the opportunity to update their proposals and that MLS's prices were impermissibly unbalanced. ISS also challenges the agency's evaluation of its technical proposal. We deny the protest.
