Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ....................................................................................................................... DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: The Arcanum Group, Inc. File: B-413682.2; B-413682.3 Date: March 29, 2017 Julia Di Vito, Esq., Pamela J. Mazza, Esq., Meghan F. Leemon, Esq., and Patrick T. Rothwell, Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Thomas K. David, Esq., Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and Katherine A. David, Esq., David, Brody & Dondershine, LLP, for MIRACORP, Inc, an intervenor. Leigh Ann Bunetta, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency conducted improper price realism analysis of awardee's proposal is denied where the record shows that the price realism analysis was reasonable and consistent with the terms of the solicitation. 2. Protest challenging the agency's best-value tradeoff decision is sustained where the source selection authority (SSA) relied, in part, on a finding that awardee had submitted similar projects under the past performance evaluation factor--and, in making this finding, the SSA specifically disagreed with the source selection evaluation board's conclusions--and yet the record does not contain adequate documentation explaining how the SSA reached this conclusion. DECISION The Arcanum Group, Inc. (TAG), of Denver, Colorado protests the General Service Administration, Public Buildings Service's (GSA) award of a contract to MIRACORP, Inc., of Mesa, Arizona, under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-08-P-16-JE-D-7000, for administrative and technical support services for the GSA, Rocky Mountain Region 8. TAG primarily challenges the agency's price realism analysis and source selection decision. We sustain the protest in part and deny it in part.
