           Matter of:   Lyon Shipyard, Inc.

           File:        B-407771.2

           Date:        July 15, 2013

           Michael J. Gardner, Esq., Megan E. Burns, Esq., and Erik M. Ideta, Esq., Troutman
           Sanders LLP, for the protester.
           David Bach, Esq., Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, for the
           agency.
           Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
           GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
           DIGEST

           1. Protest that discussions on price were insufficient or misleading is denied where
           the agency advised the protester during discussions that its price was significantly
           higher than the independent government estimate, but the protester's price was not
           found to be unreasonably high.

           2. Protest that agency failed to properly consider protester's alleged history of
           competitive pricing in task order competitions under other multiple award contracts
           is denied where the agency consideration of the protester's price was reasonable
           and consistent with the terms of the solicitation.
           DECISION

           Lyon Shipyard, Inc., of Norfolk, Virginia, protests the decision of the Department of
           the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, not to select it for an award under request
           for proposals (RFP) No. N50054-1 1 -R-0002, for marine boatyard services. Lyon
           argues that the agency's discussions regarding its price were inadequate and
           misleading, and that in making the award decision, the agency failed to properly
           consider the protester's history of competitive pricing in task order competitions
           under other contracts for the same services.


We deny the protest.
