Unsigt , Stats Gn ADOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. D e c is io n ........................................................................................................................ Matter of: MRI Technologies File: B-407421; B-407421.2 Date: December 28, 2012 David F. Barton, Esq., and Elizabeth H. Connally, Esq., The Gardner Law Firm, for the protester. Pamela J. Mazza, Esq., Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Kathryn V. Flood, Esq., PilieroMazza PLLC, for S&K Global Solutions, LLC, the intervenor. Karen M. Reilley, Esq., and Michael L. Pratt, Esq., National Aeronautics and Space Administration, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Challenge to the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal as technically unacceptable is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that the protester's final revised proposal failed to explain why the proposed staffing level was adequate. 2. Challenge to the adequacy of discussions with the protester is denied where the record shows that the agency identified and provided an opportunity to address concerns regarding the acceptability of the protester's proposed staffing. The agency was not required to reopen discussions to address a deficiency introduced by the protester for the first time in its revised proposal. DECISION MRI Technologies, of Houston, Texas, protests the award of a contract to S&K Global Solutions, LLC (SKG), of Poison, Montana, under request for proposals (RFP) No. NNJ12395182R, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), for the Engineering Product Integration Contract (EPIC). The protester argues that the agency unreasonably found that its proposal was technically unacceptable, failed to provide meaningful discussions, and unreasonably evaluated the awardee's proposal. We deny the protest.
