Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States Decision Matter of: Sky Quest Aviation LLC File: B-415383 Date: December 4, 2017 William Tresky, Sky Quest Aviation LLC, for the protester. Colonel C. Taylor Smith, Colby L. Sullins, Esq., Lesley V. Colosimo, Esq., and James W. Meinders, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Jonathan L. Kang, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest alleging that the awardee's proposal did not adequately describe its approach for performing the contract in the United Kingdom is denied where the record shows that the agency reasonably evaluated the proposal in accordance with the solicitation. DECISION Sky Quest Aviation, LLC (SQA), of Glendale, Arizona, protests the award of a contract to Gauss Management Research and Engineering, Inc. (GMRE), of South Ogden, Utah, by the Department of the Air Force under request for proposals (RFP) No. FA5587-17- R-001 1 for helicopter flight services. The protester argues that the agency failed to reasonably evaluate the awardee's proposal with regard to its plan for performance of the contract requirements in the United Kingdom. We deny the protest.' 1 Our Office did not issue a protective order in connection with this protest--under which proprietary and source-selection sensitive information would have been available to counsel admitted to the protective order--because SQA elected not to retain counsel. Consequently, only a redacted version of the agency report was furnished to the protester. For this reason, our discussion regarding the awardee's proposal and the agency's evaluation is general in nature because those evaluations and the source selection decision reference materials in the awardee's proposal that appear to be proprietary. Nonetheless, we have reviewed the entire record in camera, and base this decision on that review.
