handle is hein.gao/gaocrptakyo0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa E Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Cascade General, Inc. File: B-283872 Date: January 18, 2000 John T. Jozwick, Esq., for the protester. William W. Goodrich, Esq., Arent Fox Kintner Plotkin & Kahn, for Ship Dismantling and Recycling Joint Venture, and Katherine S. Nucci, Esq., Adduci, Mastriani & Schaumberg, for International Shipbreaking Limited, intervenors. John B. Dale, Esq., Susan S. Grooms, Esq., and Keith M. Dunn, Esq., Naval Sea Systems Command, for the agency. Andrew T. Pogany, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Contracting agency properly did not downgrade or reject proposal based on awardee's proposed exclusive use of a subcontractor's facility for performance of contract, where solicitation did not restrict use of subcontractors in performing the contract, and record demonstrates that subcontractor's facility was fully available by lease with the government during entire duration of the contract. 2. Contracting agency reasonably determined that awardee's price was not unrealistically low where the cost difference between protester's and awardee's proposals was driven by differences in proposed labor hours and rates, with awardee proposing rudimentary, but satisfactory, technical approach requiring significantly fewer hours, and lower labor rates as confirmed by Defense Contract Audit Agency audit. DECISION Cascade General, Inc. protests contract awards to Ship Dismantling and Recycling Joint Venture (SDR) and International Shipbreaking Limited (ISL), under request for proposals (RFP) No. N00024-98-R-2219, issued by the Department of the Navy to dismantle and dispose of ex-Naval vessels. Cascade contends that the Navy did not reasonably or consistently evaluate proposals. We deny the protest.
