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: ACADEMI Training Center, LLC dba Constellis File: B-415416 Date: December 18, 2017 David S. Cohen, Esq., John J. O'Brien, Esq., Daniel J. Strouse, Esq., Cohen Mohr LLP, for the protester. Mark R. Gleeman, Esq., Winthrop & Weinstine, PA, for the intervenor. Morgan L. Cosby, Esq., Dennis J. Gallagher, Esq., and John W. Cox, Esq., Department of State, for the agency. Charmaine A. Stevenson, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest that agency improperly rejected protester's task order proposals is denied where the protester proposed prices exceeding the prices established in its indefinite- delivery, indefinite-quantity contract, contrary to the solicitation. 2. GAO will not review a protester's assertion that an agency abused its discretion by failing to conduct discussions when the solicitation expressly advised that the agency intends to make award without discussions. DECISION ACADEMI Training Center, LLC dba Constellis (ACADEMI), of Moyock, North Carolina, protests the issuance of two task orders to DECO, Inc., of Champlin, Minnesota, by the Department of State under request for proposals (RFP) No. SAQMMA1 7R01 63 for antiterrorism training to foreign law enforcement and civilian government officials worldwide. The protester contends that the solicitation contained a latent ambiguity that resulted in the agency unreasonably finding its task order proposals ineligible for award. The protester further argues that the agency abused its discretion by failing to conduct discussions. We deny the protest.
