handle is hein.gao/gaobadzzv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAOU.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Decision The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: TCG, Inc. File: B-417610; B-417610.2 Date: September 3, 2019 Thomas K. David, Esq., Kenneth D. Brody, Esq., and Katherine A. David, Esq., David, Brody & Dondershine, LLP, for the protester. Laurel Hockey, Esq., and John J. O'Brien, Esq., Cordatis LLP, for ValidaTek-CITI, LLC, the intervenor. Travis L. Vaughan, Esq., and Aubri Dubose, Esq., Defense Information Systems Agency, for the agency. Alexander 0. Levine, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest asserting latent ambiguities in the solicitation is dismissed as untimely where the protester could have raised this protest ground in its initial protest filing, but failed to do so. 2. Protest challenging price reasonableness determination is denied where the agency reasonably documented its conclusion that the awardee's price, while higher than the agency's internal cost estimates, was fair and reasonable. DECISION TCG, Inc., a small business located in Washington, DC, protests the issuance of a task order to ValidaTek-CITI, LLC, a small business located in McLean, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. C-56899, issued by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for support services for the modernization of the Spectrum XXI (SXXI) system. The protester argues that the agency misevaluated its technical proposal, and failed to evaluate the awardee's price reasonably, resulting in a flawed source selection determination. We dismiss the protest in part and deny the protest in part.
