handle is hein.gao/gaocrptafxl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DOCUMENT 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: Navales Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a A Plus Services Unlimited File: B-276122 Date: May 13, 1997 Theodore M. Bailey, Esq., for the protester. John E. Lariccia, Esq., and Laurie Stiteler, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Adam Vodraska, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency conducted meaningful discussions with the protester regarding its staffing level where during discussions the agency reasonably informed the protester that its proposed staffing may not be sufficient and requested the protester to address this concern. DECISION Navales Enterprises, Inc. d/b/a A Plus Services Unlimited, protests the rejection of its proposal by the Department of the Air Force, San Antonio Air Logistics Center, under request for proposals (RFP) No. F41650-96-R-0008 for the maintenance and repair of military family housing at Kelly Air Force Base. A Plus contends that the Air Force failed to conduct meaningful discussions, as required, prior to rejecting its proposal as technical unacceptable. We deny the protest. The RFP was issued on August 21, 1996, as a section 8(a) set-aside. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract, with certain materials, parts, and supplies to be reimbursed at cost by the government, for a base period of I year with 3 option years. The evaluation scheme in the RFP provided for a best value award; however, only proposals determined technically acceptable with regard to certain listed technical factors, either initially or as a result of discussions, were to be considered for award, which was to be based on price and performance risk. The technical factors were evaluated with regard to the offeror's compliance with, understanding of, and soundness of approach in meeting the requirements stated in the performance work
