         Matter of:   GlobalOpal, LLC

         File:        B-408414.7; B-408414.8

         Date:        March 19, 2014

         Steven J. Koprince, Esq., Petefish, Immel, Heeb & Hird, LLP, for the protester.
         Eric S. Pommer, Esq., Law Office of Eric S. Pommer, for CJSeto Support Services,
         LLC, the intervenor.
         Philip Hadji, Esq., and Craig Haughtelin, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the
         agency.
         Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         1. Protest challenging agency's failure to conduct a price realism analysis is denied
         where, in a fixed-price procurement, the solicitation did not call for a price realism
         analysis, and therefore the agency was precluded from conducting one.

         2. Protest that agency unreasonably assessed a weakness in protester's proposal
         does not furnish a basis for questioning the award where record demonstrates that
         the protester was not prejudiced by the evaluation.
         DECISION

         GlobalOpal, LLC, of Rocklin, California, protests the Department of the Navy, Naval
         Facilities Engineering Command's (NAVFAC), award of a contract to CJSeto
         Support Services, LLC, of Ventura, California, under request for proposals (RFP)
         No. N39430-13-R-1203, for enterprise operations support (EOS) services.
         GlobalOpal asserts that the agency failed to conduct a price realism analysis of the
         awardee's proposed price and otherwise misevaluated proposals.

         We deny the protest.

         1 GlobalOpal is a joint venture of Global Blue DVBE, Inc. and OpalSoft, Inc., the
         incumbent EOS services contractor here. GlobalOpal Technical Proposal at 1.
