handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadui0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DECISION FOR PUBLIC RELEASE A protected decision was issued on the date below and was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: EC Corporation File: B-266165.2 Date: February 20, 1996 Paul F. Khoury, Esq., David A. Vogel, Esq., Philip J. Davis., Esq., and Phillip H. Harrington, Esq., Wiley, Rein & Fielding, for the protester. Donna Lee Yesner, Esq., Carl L. Vacketta, Esq., and Chandra Emery, Esq., Piper & Marbury, for Tate Facilities Services, Inc., an interested party. Christopher M. Bellomy, Esq., Robert M. Roylance, Esq., and Cynthia S. Guill, Esq., Dept. of the Navy, for the agency. Jeanne W. Isrin, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's failure to downgrade awardee's proposal for lack of understanding based on price realism analysis that initially found unrealistically low item prices was reasonable where agency determined that awardee's technical proposal, together with its responses to discussion questions concerning the low prices, demonstrated an acceptable level of understanding. DECISION EC Corporation protests the award of a contract to Tate Facilities Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62470-95-R-1151, issued by the Navy for base operating services at the Naval Security Group Activity, Northwest, and its military family housing complex, in Chesapeake, Virginia. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated award of a fixed-price, indefinite quantity (with award fee) contract for a base period with 4 option years. The work to be performed was specified in approximately 224 sub-contract line items (CLIN); 167 were described as fixed-price and 57 were described as indefinite quantity. Section B of the RFP contained a pricing schedule that required, for the base and each option year, a single price for the fixed-price work, and unit and extended prices for each line item of indefinite quantity work. Estimated requirements were provided for the indefinite quantity items, so that total prices could be computed.
