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 1been approved for public release. Matter of: Prairie Quest, Inc. File: B-417573.2 Date: January 31, 2020 Megan C. Connor, Esq., Timothy F. Valley, Esq., and Anna R. Wright, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Scott N. Flesch, Esq., Captain Eugen6e M. Gray, and Major Mark T. Robinson, 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 that the terms of a solicitation provide insufficient information to justify a fixed- price contract type is denied where the agency's market research reasonably supports the solicitation's pricing terms and the solicitation provides the most recent available historical data for offerors to compete intelligently and on a relatively equal basis. DECISION Prairie Quest, Inc., of Fort Wayne, Indiana, protests the terms of request for proposals (RFP) No. W81 K04-18-R-0002, issued by the Department of the Army for patient appointing, referral management, and clear and legible reporting services. The protester contends that the solicitation is flawed because it fails to adequately detail the agency's requirement to justify a fixed-price contract and unfairly shifts the risk of contract performance wholly to the contractor. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On April 4, 2019, the agency issued the solicitation pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. Agency Report (AR), Tab 11, RFP, at 1, 15. The RFP requires that the contractor provide a centralized call center offering patient appointing, referral management, and clear and legible reporting services to TRICARE beneficiaries of military treatment facilities in the Puget Sound
