handle is hein.gao/gaobaebwl0001 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 Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Colonna's Shipyard, Inc. File: B-418896 Date: September 29, 2020 Yuki Haraguchi, Esq., and Chidinma Okogbue, Esq., Holmes Pittman & Haraguchi LLP, for the protester. Shomari B. Wade, Esq., Michael J. Gardner, Esq., and Danielle K. Muenzfeld, Esq., Greenberg Traurig LLP, for Lyon Shipyard, Inc., the intervenor. William R. James, Esq., and James M. Metcalfe, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Kasia Dourney, Esq., and Evan C. Williams, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging the agency's best-value determination is denied where the agency reasonably determined that the awardee's higher-rated, higher-priced proposal represented the best value to the agency. DECISION Colonna's Shipyard, Inc. (Colonna), a small business of Norfolk, Virginia, protests the award of a contract to Lyon Shipyard, Inc., a small business of Norfolk, Virginia, under request for proposals (RFP) No. N4215820PS154, issued by the Department of the Navy for barge overhaul and inspection services at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Virginia. The protester challenges the agency's best-value determination, and contends that the agency failed to provide an adequate explanation for its award decision. In addition, Colonna alleges that the Navy should have held discussions to clarify minor deficiencies in its proposal. We dismiss the protest in part, and deny it in part. BACKGROUND The agency issued the RFP on March 27, 2020, as a small business set-aside, anticipating award of a fixed-price contract, on a best-value tradeoff basis, for a period of performance between September 25, 2020 and November 9, 2020.
