Sharp, Inc. File: B-408306 Date: August 5, 2013 Michael J. Gardner, Esq., Troutman Sanders LLP, for the protester. William A. Roberts III, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for Global, A 1st Flagship Company, the intervenor. Robert J. McMullen, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. K. Nicole Willems, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's allegation that during discussions it was misled by the agency not to further reduce its proposed costs for a cost-reimbursement contract is denied where the agency provided the protester an opportunity to explain its proposed costs and explicitly advised the protester to review all aspects of its cost proposal, including its fee, in light of the competitive environment surrounding the solicitation. DECISION George G. Sharp, Inc. (Sharp), of Virginia Beach, VA, protests the award of a contract to Global, A 1s Flagship Company (Global), of Irvine, CA, by the Department of the Navy, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N001 89-12-R-ZO1 0, for inactive ship maintenance and repair services. Sharp asserts that the Navy's conduct of discussions was misleading with respect to its cost proposal.1 Protest at 3,5. We deny the protest. 1 The protester also argued that the agency's cost realism evaluation of the awardees' proposal was unreasonable. We dismissed this allegation as failing to set forth a valid basis for protest where the challenge was based on the singular fact that the agency made no adjustment to the awardees' proposed costs, which were lower than those proposed by the protester.
