          Decision

          Matter of:  OSG, Inc.

          File:       B-410406; B-410406.2

          Date:       December 24, 2014

          William Weisberg, Esq., Law Offices of William Weisberg, PLLC, for the protester.
          Richard Ferguson, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency.
          Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
          GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Protester's contention that it was competitively prejudiced in a procurement for
          passenger-side windows by the release of its price on a procurement for driver-side
          windows--although the release did not identify the company that submitted the
          price--is denied where the record shows that the price was displayed anonymously
          as part of a planned, but cancelled, reverse auction, and where the record shows
          that the protester ultimately won the award for the driver-side windows, leading to
          the release of an award announcement which provided the same pricing information
          and the protester's name. Under these circumstances, we cannot see how the
          protester was competitive harmed by the release of a price that was ultimately
          disclosed in the award announcement.
          DECISION

          OSG, Inc., of Emporia, Virginia, protests the Defense Logistics Agency's (DLA)
          actions under request for proposals (RFP) No. SPE7L3-14-R-0121 (R-0121) for
          mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle passenger-side windows. The
          protester contends that DLA's release of OSG's price in a separate procurement--for
          MRAP driver-side windows--competitively prejudiced the firm in the current
          procurement.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          Solicitation R-0121, issued on June 30, 2014, provided for the award of a fixed-price
          contract for 560 vehicular windows, identified as national stock number (NSN) 2541-
