handle is hein.gao/gaobaebmr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO U.S. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE 441 G St. N.W. Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. No party requested redactions; D ecision we are therefore releasing the decision in its entirety. Matter of: VSolvit, LLC File: B-418265.2; B-418265.3 Date: July 30, 2020 Antonio R. Franco, Esq., Anna R. Wright, Esq., Jason A. Blindauer, Esq., and Justin D. Haselden, Esq., Piliero Mazza PLLC, for the protester. Ambika J. Biggs, Esq., William L. Walsh, Esq., and Andrea I. Mousouris, Esq., Hirschler Fleischer, for New Directions Technologies, Inc., the intervenor. Gregg S. Sharp, Esq., and Craig Haughtelin, Esq., Department of the Navy, 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 1. Protest that agency misevaluated protester's technical approach as unacceptable is denied where the proposal did not show that the candidate for one of the key personnel positions had the specific experience the solicitation identified as a required qualification for the position, and the resulting evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the solicitation. 2. Protester's challenges to other aspects of the evaluation are dismissed where the protester was not competitively prejudiced by any misevaluation of its own proposal, and was not an interested party to challenge the evaluation of the awardee's proposal because another acceptable offeror was in line for award. DECISION VSolvit, LLC, of Ventura, California, a small business, protests the issuance of a SeaPort Next Generation task order to New Directions Technologies, Inc., of Ridgecrest, California, also a small business, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N63394-19-R-3506, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command, for information technology team support services for the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Port Hueneme, California. VSolvit argues that the Navy misevaluated both firms' proposals and made an unreasonable source selection decision.
