Matter of:  Jacobs Technology, Inc.

File:       B-416314; B-416314.2

Date:       July 31, 2018

Brian P. Waagner, Esq., Hal J. Perloff, Esq., and Steven A. Neeley, Esq., Husch
Blackwell LLP, for the protester.
Daniel R. Forman, Esq., and Sharmistha Das, Esq., Crowell & Moring LLP, for Serco
Inc., the intervenor.
Wade L. Brown, Esq., and Andrew M. Telschow, Esq., Department of the Army, 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

Protest challenging agency's decision, after award, to reopen discussions, amend the
solicitation, and evaluate revised proposals, is denied where the record shows the
agency reasonably concluded that the solicitation contained a latent ambiguity.
DECISION

Jacobs Technology, Inc., of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, protests actions taken by the
United States Army Contracting Command - Rock Island (Army) after issuance of a task
order to Serco Inc., of Reston, Virginia, under request for task order proposals (RFTOP)
No. 1237722 for global logistics and staff augmentation services to support the Army
Sustainment Command and its subordinate locations in the continental United States
and outside the continental United States (OCONUS). Jacobs contends that the Army's
decision to reopen the solicitation after award and request revised offers, instead of
making award to Jacobs, is inappropriate and unreasonable.

We deny the protest.

BACKGROUND

On December 15, 2017, the agency issued the RFTOP, using Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) § 16.505 procedures, to the unrestricted pool of contract holders of
General Services Administration's One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services
