Matter of:  Laulima Government Solutions, LLC

File:       B-415079.2; B-415079.3

Date:       February 2, 2018

Damien C. Specht, Esq., James A. Tucker, Esq., and R. Locke Bell, Esq., Morrison &
Foerster LLP, for the protester.
Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Michelle E. Litteken, Esq., Julia Di Vito, Esq., and
Samuel S. Finnerty, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for Cherokee Nation Assurance, LLC,
the intervenor.
Major Adam Kama, Captain Harry M. Parent, and Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Department of
the Army, for the agency.
Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Tania Calhoun, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest that agency misevaluated protester's task order proposal and made an
unreasonable source selection decision is denied where the record shows that the
evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation criteria, and
where the contracting officer's decision to select the awardee's lower-rated and lower-
priced task order proposal was reasonable and adequately documented.
DECISION

Laulima Government Solutions, LLC, of Orlando, Florida, protests the issuance of a task
order to Cherokee Nation Assurance, LLC, of Catoosa, Oklahoma, under task order
proposal request (TOPR) No. 16-0010, issued by the Department of the Army for
scientific research support services for offices of the United States Army Medical
Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
Laulima argues that the Army misevaluated both proposals and made an unreasonable
source selection decision.


We deny the protest.
