Matter of: Bashir Najib National Transportation Services File: B-408308.21 Date: August 20, 2014 Theodore P. Watson, Esq., and Nicole L. Carter, Esq., Watson & Associates, LLC, for the protester. Paul W. Bowen, Esq., Robert J. Sherry, Esq., Sheila A. Armstrong, Esq., Kirstin D. Dietel, Esq., and Amy M. Conant, Esq., K&L Gates LLP, for an intervenor. Christopher S. Cole, Esq., J. Toby Harryman, Esq., and Willie McAlister, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Glenn G. Wolcott, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where solicitation for trucking services in Afghanistan sought fixed unit prices for the services sought, and security was incorporated into the required services, protester's assertion that the agency should have evaluated all offerors' proposals as reflecting the same standard security costs constitutes an untimely challenge to the terms of the solicitation. 2. Where the record establishes that agency sought final proposal revisions from the protester after the Afghan security provider had changed its prices, and nothing in that request limited the proposal revisions the protester was permitted to make, protester's assertion that it was not provided an opportunity to revise its proposal to reflect the changed Afghan security costs fails to state a valid basis of protest. DECISION Bashir Najib National Transportation Services (BNN), of Kabul, Afghanistan, protests the U.S. Transportation Command's (USTRANSCOM) 1 award of multiple 1 USTRANSCOM is one of nine unified commands within the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The mission of USTRANSCOM is to provide air, land, and sea transportation for the DOD, both in peace and wartime.
