Matter of: Joint Logistics Managers, Inc. File: B-410465.2; B-410465.3 Date: May 5, 2015 Robert E. Korroch, Esq. and William A. Wozniak, Esq., Williams Mullen, for the protester. Thomas 0. Mason, Esq., Francis E. Purcell, Jr., Esq., Christopher J. Kimball, Esq., and Erin M. Estevez, Esq., Cooley LLP, for PrimeTech International, Inc., the intervenor. Robert J. Drone, Esq., United States Marine Corps, for the agency. Robert T. Wu, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency failed to engage in meaningful or equal discussions with the protester concerning its price is denied where the record shows that the agency did not consider the firm's price to be unreasonably high and, as a result, it was within the agency's discretion not to raise the issue during discussions. 2. Protest that the agency's best value tradeoff decision was flawed in various respects is denied where the record shows that the best value tradeoff decision was reasonable, documented in the record, and that the source selection authority exercised her independent judgment in making the decision. DECISION Joint Logistics Managers, Inc. (JLMI), of Prince George, Virginia, protests the award of a task order to PrimeTech International, Inc. (PTI), of North Kansas City, Missouri, by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) under request for task order response (TOR) No. M67004-14-R-0036 for various support services. JLMI argues that the agency failed to engage in meaningful discussions with the firm concerning its price, and that the source selection authority (SSA) failed to conduct a rational source selection decision and improperly failed to exercise her independent judgment in deciding to award the task order to PTI. We deny the protest.
