This redacted version has Decision been approved for pcrelease. Matter of: Pioneering Evolution, LLC File: B-412016; B-412016.2 Date: December 8, 2015 Carol L. O'Riordan, Esq., Pamela J. Bethel, Esq., Taimur Rabbani, Esq., and Anthony J. Marchese, Esq., O'Riordan Bethel Law Firm, LLP, for the protester. Joseph P. Hornyak, Esq., and Megan Mocho Jeschke, Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, for the intervenor. Toya McLendon, Department of the Navy, for the agency. Stephanie B. Magnell, Esq., and Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Challenge to the evaluation of the protester's proposal as unacceptable is denied where the agency reasonably found that the protester failed to satisfy a material solicitation requirement concerning key personnel. 2. Exchanges with the awardee in a task order competition were, effectively, clarifications rather than discussions where the agency requested that the awardee confirm the agency's understanding regarding a mistake that was apparent from the face of the awardee's cost proposal. DECISION Pioneering Evolution, LLC (Pioneering), of Arlington, Virginia, protests the award of a task order to Abbott on Call, Inc. (AOC), of Vienna, Virginia, by the Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, under request for proposals (RFP) N00024-14-R-3241 for systems engineering support services. Pioneering challenges the agency's rejection of its proposal as technically unacceptable and claims that the agency reopened discussions with AOC after receipt of final proposals. We deny the protest.
