Decision


Matter of:  Patriot Defense Group, LLC

File:       B-418720.3

Date:       August 5, 2020

Todd Wilcox, for the protester.
Alexis J. Bernstein, Esq., Isabelle P. Cutting, Esq., Major Michelle Gregory, and Captain
Allison Johnson, Department of the Air Force, for the agency.
Evan D. Wesser, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO,  participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the relevancy of the protester's past
performance references is denied where the record demonstrates that the agency's
evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the terms of the solicitation; it is an
offeror's responsibility to submit an adequately written proposal, and supplementation
submitted during the course of a protest to bolster an inadequate proposal fails to
provide a basis to question the reasonableness of the agency's evaluation of the
protester's proposal as it was submitted.
DECISION

selection for a multiple-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract

U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM),   for subject matter expertise and
knowledge-based  services in support of USSOCOM's enterprise requirements for U.S.-
based and globally-aligned Special Operations Forces missions. Patriot challenges the
agency's evaluation of the relevancy of the protester's past performance references.

We  deny the protest.
