Perlman, Esq., and Elizabeth N. Jochum, Esq., Holland & Knight, LLP, for the protester. Maureen A. McAndrew, Esq., and Dana P. Friedman, Esq., Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's decision to use Brooks Act procedures to acquire naval architectural and marine engineering services is denied; there is nothing on the face of the statute that would preclude using the Brooks Act for acquiring naval architectural and marine engineering services, nor is there anything on the face of the statute that limits its application to the acquisition of architect-engineering services solely in connection with the construction of a building, structure or facility. DECISION Tridentis LLC, of Alexandria, Virginia, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. W912BU-16-R-0004, issued by the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for naval architecture and marine engineering services. Tridentis maintains that the agency impermissibly has issued the RFP using the procedures of the Brooks Act, 40 U.S.C. §§ 1101-1104, for acquiring architect- engineer (A-E) services. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplates the award of up to two indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts to perform naval architecture, marine engineering, dredging engineering, electrical, structural, modeling, computer-aided design and drafting services, as well as preliminary design, detailed (final) design and related design studies, analysis and reports. RFP Synopsis at 1. The contracts to be awarded are principally for the design of various boats, floating structures and accessories. Id. at 2. The RFP
