handle is hein.gao/gaobadqii0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has Decision [e for pic release. Matter of: Vigor Shipyards, Inc. File: B-409635 Date: June 5, 2014 Joaquin M. Hernandez, Esq., Joseph J. Straus, Esq., and Jamila Johnson, Esq., Schwabe, Williamson & Wyatt, for the protester. Scott M. McCaleb, Esq., and John R. Prairie, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for General Dynamics NASSCO-Earl Industries, an intervenor. Ryan M. Banach, Esq., Jeanne P. Ockerman, Esq., and Saleena Siraj, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Tania Calhoun, Esq., and Scott H. Riback, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where protest initially raises broad ground of protest, but fails to provide specific examples of flaws until more than 10 days after agency report is provided to protester, these later, more specific arguments are untimely. 2. Protest that agency improperly revised its independent government estimate in order to find awardee's proposed costs realistic is denied where the record shows that the agency's revision was an effort to ensure that the estimate reflected its actual requirements. DECISION Vigor Shipyards, Inc., of Seattle, Washington, protests the award of a contract to General Dynamics NASSCO-Earl Industries (Earl), of Portsmouth, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-12-R-4321, issued by the Department of the Navy for non-nuclear maintenance, repair, and alteration of aircraft carriers in Puget Sound, Washington. Vigor alleges that the agency misevaluated proposals, failed to engage in adequate discussions, and made an unreasonable cost/technical tradeoff decision. We dismiss the protest in part and deny it in part.
