Matter of:   Glock, Inc.

File:        B-414401

Date:        June 5, 2017

John F. Renzulli, Esq., Scott C. Allan, Esq., and Michael R. Patrick, Esq., Renzulli Law
Firm, LLP, for the protester.
W. Jay DeVecchio, Esq., Ethan E. Marsh, Esq., James A. Tucker, Esq., Kevin P.
Mullen, Esq., R. Locke Bell, Esq., and Cynthia 0. Akatugba, Esq., Morrison & Foerster
LLP, for the intervenor, Sig Sauer, Inc.
Wade L. Brown, Esq., and Jason Guiliano, Esq., Department of the Army, for the
agency.
Stephanie B. Magnell, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest that the solicitation required the agency to make at least two awards after the
initial evaluation phase is denied, where the solicitation did not require this outcome.
Instead, the agency reasonably determined that a single award was in the best interest
of the government, where proposals were technically proximate and the protester's
proposed price was substantially higher than the awardee's price.

2. Protest that the agency failed to complete the second phase evaluation is dismissed
as premature, where the record shows that the agency has properly awarded only those
portions of the contract awardable under the first phase of the evaluation.

3. Protest that the agency unequally evaluated proposals by waiving an evaluation
subfactor for the awardee's design is denied, where the waiver was not prejudicial to the
protester.

4. Protest that the agency's evaluation of proposals was flawed is denied, where any
errors were not prejudicial to the protester.
DECISION

Glock, Inc., of Smyrna, Georgia, protests the decision by the Department of the Army,
Army Contracting Command, not to award it a contract under request for proposals
