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: Kratos Defense & Rocket Support Services, Inc. File: B-418172.2 Date: January 26, 2021 John R. Prairie, Esq., and Cara L. Lasley, Esq., Wiley Rein LLP, for the protester. Theresa S. Keenan, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Stephanie B. Magnell, Esq., and Evan C. Williams, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's decision not to consider the vendor's quotation is denied, where the protester's cost quotation was incomplete and the solicitation did not permit the agency to consider an incomplete quotation. DECISION Kratos Defense & Rocket Support Services, Inc., of San Diego, California, protests the exclusion of its quotation from competition for request for quotations (RFQ) No. N00189-19-R-3037, which was issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Supply Systems Command, to obtain training, education, engineering, technical and management support services for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces. The protester argues that even though its proposal did not contain certain subcontractor pricing information, the agency unreasonably failed to review Kratos's quotation in full to assess if it nevertheless contained all necessary cost/price elements. The protester argues in the alternative that the agency should have either waived the requirement for this information or requested it from Kratos. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND On May 9, 2019, the Navy issued the RFQ, using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 16.5 procedures, under the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ)
