Matter of: Salient Federal Solutions, Inc. File: B-410174.3; B-410174.4 Date: April 1, 2016 Lawrence P. Block, Esq., and Elizabeth G. Leavy, Esq., Reed Smith LLP, for the protester. Jeffery M. Chiow, Esq., Neil H. O'Donnell, Esq., and Lucas T. Hanback, Esq., Rogers Joseph O'Donnell, PC, for Primescape Solutions, Inc., the intervenor. Shantay N. Clarke, Esq., Defense Logistics Agency, for the agency. Paula J. Haurilesko, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that the agency unreasonably found the number of labor hours proposed by the awardee acceptable is denied, where the record shows that the agency considered the level of effort for each task in light of the vendor's technical approach and the protester has not provided a basis to question the agency's conclusions. 2. Protest that the agency misled the protester by failing to inform it that its proposed labor hours in the base year were too high is denied, where the record shows that the agency found the protester's proposed labor hours to be acceptable. 3. Where award was to be made on a lowest-priced, technically acceptable basis for a fixed-price task order, protest that the agency improperly found the awardee's low prices to be fair and reasonable is denied, where the solicitation did not require price realism analysis. DECISION Salient Federal Solutions, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia, protests the issuance of a task order to Primescape Solutions, Inc., of Herndon, Virginia under request for quotations (RFQ) No. SP4701-14-Q-0112, issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for sustainment and audit support readiness services. Salient argues that the agency improperly evaluated Primescape's quotation, conducted misleading discussions, and failed to conduct a proper price analysis.
